Exercise during immunotherapy for lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if adding a structured exercise program can help people with non-small cell lung cancer who are already on immunotherapy. It is for people who are not currently very active and are willing to travel to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for some visits.
