Pulmonary rehab for advanced lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a pulmonary rehabilitation program—special exercises and breathing training—to help people with advanced lung cancer feel less short of breath and improve their daily function and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and have advanced (stage III or IV) non-small cell lung cancer.
- You are getting treatment to manage your cancer, not to cure it.
- You feel short of breath during daily activities (like walking at your own pace on flat ground).
- Your cancer has been stable (no major growth or spread) for at least the last 3 months.
- You do not have serious heart problems, recent blood clots, fractures, or other conditions that would make exercise unsafe.
- You can understand and read English and are willing to complete study tasks.

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 a prehabilitation and early home rehabilitation program using a mobile app to help lung cancer patients get stronger before and after surgery. It aims to improve recovery and quality of life.
This trial tests whether adding a structured exercise program during radiation and chemotherapy helps people with locally advanced lung cancer. It aims to improve physical function and quality of life.
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 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 studies a low-time, high-intensity interval exercise program in people with non-small cell lung cancer who are stable and in remission after surgery. It may help improve fitness and recovery without requiring long exercise sessions.
