Bright light and exercise program for lung or esophageal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a structured bright-light exposure routine combined with a specific exercise program can help people with newly diagnosed lung or esophageal cancer. You may be eligible if you’re in early-to-middle cancer stages and able to safely participate in walking-based activities.
