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.
