Exercise during radiation for lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread locally (stage II or III) and cannot be removed by surgery.
- You are scheduled to receive radiation therapy together with chemotherapy, with or without a drug called Durvalumab afterward.
- You are able to carry out daily activities with little or no help (ECOG score 0–2).
- You can understand the study instructions and complete questionnaires and simple physical tests.
- You do not have serious heart or lung problems that would make moderate exercise unsafe, such as severe heart failure, recent heart attack, very severe COPD, or oxygen dependency.

This study tests whether adding a structured exercise program before surgery affects the immune environment of your lung tumor. It may help strengthen your immune system and improve treatment response.
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 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.
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 study tests whether patients with early-stage lung cancer can safely do exercise training before receiving radiation therapy. The goal is to see if exercising beforehand helps patients stay stronger and recover better.
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise program can help improve immune activity and treatment outcomes for people with non-small cell lung cancer who are already on immunotherapy. It is designed for people who are not currently very active.
