Pre-surgery walking program for lung cancer patients
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a two-week structured exercise program before surgery helps people with non-small cell lung cancer recover better after their operation. Participants will use their smartphones to track daily walking time.
