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.
