Exercise coaching for older adults having lung cancer surgery and their caregivers

This study tests if a telephone-based physical activity coach helps older adults (65+) recover better after lung cancer surgery compared to self-monitored activity. Caregivers can also join to learn how to support their loved one and improve their own well-being.
