Compare recovery programs after lung surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have stage I to IIIa non-small-cell lung cancer, or a non-cancer (benign) lung condition that needs surgery
- You need lung surgery using VATS (a minimally invasive approach with small incisions)
- Your surgery is meant to remove the problem completely (for cancer) or treat a benign lung lesion
- Your heart and lung function must be strong enough that you can safely tolerate surgery
- You must be medically cleared for the planned operation based on breathing and heart testing

This study follows people with stage I lung cancer to see how they do after surgery. It aims to learn what affects recovery and long-term outcomes.
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 studies whether an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program improves outcomes for people with gynecologic cancer. It aims to help you recover faster and with fewer complications.
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 patients feel and report their recovery during a minimally invasive planned surgery, when special “ERAS” nursing care is used. It may help improve nursing support and recovery experiences for future patients.
