Faster recovery after lung cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a new set of guidelines to help patients recover more quickly after surgery to remove part or all of a lung due to cancer. It compares this new approach to the traditional recovery method used at the hospital.

This trial compares two ways of helping patients recover after lung surgery: a “enhanced recovery” plan versus standard care. It may help your team find a recovery approach that improves comfort and recovery after surgery for certain lung problems.
This trial tests a short, intensive exercise program (pulmonary rehab) before lung cancer surgery. It also helps people quit smoking during the program. The goal is to see if this approach improves recovery after surgery.
This study tests if doing exercise before lung cancer surgery helps patients recover faster and have fewer complications. It is for patients who are scheduled for lung surgery and are not already in an exercise program.
This trial tests a program that helps you exercise and get ready before lung surgery, and continues with recovery exercises at home after surgery. It aims to improve your strength, recovery, and overall well-being.
This study looks at how well your lungs work after surgery for lung cancer. It uses special scans and breathing tests to help doctors better predict your recovery.
This trial tests whether using a smartphone app to report symptoms can help patients stick to their recovery exercises after minimally invasive lung cancer surgery. If you are having surgery for lung cancer, this study may help you recover better at home.
