This trial tests a short, intensive exercise program (pulmonary rehab) before lung cancer surgery. It also helps people quit smoking during the program. The goal is to see if this approach improves recovery after 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 trial tests whether a program called Prehab (which helps you get stronger before treatment) improves recovery after lung cancer surgery. You may join if you have lung cancer that can be surgically removed and you are referred for Prehab.
This trial tests a smartphone-based rehabilitation program designed to help patients recover lung function after surgery to remove lung cancer. The program guides you through breathing exercises and tracks your progress at home to help you breathe better after surgery.
This trial looks at whether a more intensive exercise program after keyhole surgery for lung cancer helps you recover faster. It involves cycling on a stationary bike while supervised by a physiotherapist.
