Prehab before lung cancer surgery: the PRIMROSE trial
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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 home-based exercise and health program that uses a wearable device and smartphone app to help older adults prepare for lung cancer surgery. The goal is to improve fitness and recovery before and after your operation.
This trial looks at whether a “prehabilitation” (guided exercise and fitness preparation) program helps people with non-small cell lung cancer get ready for surgery after starting treatment before surgery. It may help you tolerate treatment and surgery better if you can do the required fitness testing and procedures.
This study tests whether a short exercise and health program before lung cancer surgery can help you recover faster. You'll use a smartphone app to follow the program and track your progress.
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.
