Pre-surgery exercise program for lung cancer treatment
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether a “prehabilitation” (guided exercise and fitness preparation) program helps people with non-small cell lung cancer get ready for surgery after starting treatment before surgery. It may help you tolerate treatment and surgery better if you can do the required fitness testing and procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re an adult with non-small cell lung cancer
- You’re scheduled to receive treatment before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy)
- Your tumor is planned to be removed with surgery (resectable)
- You can take part in a cardio-pulmonary exercise test (fitness testing)
- You agree to both the pre-surgery treatment and the surgery

This trial tests whether doing exercise training before lung cancer surgery can help you recover better. It is for people with low fitness levels who live with another adult at home.
This study tests whether a two-week structured exercise program before surgery helps people with non-small cell lung cancer recover better after their operation. Participants will use their smartphones to track daily walking time.
This study tests a personalized exercise program for people with stage II or III non-small cell lung cancer who are about to start cancer treatment before surgery. The goal is to see if exercise can help prepare your body for treatment and recovery.
This trial tests whether adding a supervised physical exercise program to your usual chemotherapy and immunotherapy before lung cancer surgery can change the immune environment inside the tumor. The goal is to see if exercise can make the treatment more effective.
This study tests whether a short exercise and health program before lung cancer surgery can help you recover faster. You'll use a smartphone app to follow the program and track your progress.
This study tests whether doing a supervised exercise program before your surgery (and during your pre-surgery cancer treatment) can improve your heart and lung fitness, which may help you recover better after surgery. You will be randomly assigned to either the exercise group or a standard-care group.
