Nutrition and Muscle Health in Lung Cancer Surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how nutrition and muscle health before lung cancer surgery can affect recovery. It tests whether checking these factors can help predict and improve outcomes after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove a lobe or segment of your lung for lung cancer.
- You have not received chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation before this surgery.
- Your cancer has not spread to other parts of your body, and you are not on medicines that suppress your immune system.
- You have a CT scan of your chest taken within 30 days before surgery, and you are willing to have a nutrition and muscle assessment before surgery.

This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with lung cancer who are about to have surgery. It uses a CT or MRI scan to check your muscle health, which may help doctors better plan your care.
This study looks at why cancer can cause loss of muscle in people with advanced non–small cell lung cancer, and whether exercise can improve or explain those muscle changes. You may be asked to do physical testing and answer questionnaires while receiving standard palliative cancer treatment.
This study is looking at a simple blood test to see if it can help understand muscle loss in people with chronic lung disease. The goal is to find better ways to support muscle health.
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) and weight loss (cachexia) in people with lung cancer. Researchers want to understand these conditions better to improve care.
This study tests if a personalized exercise program helps people recover after surgery for early-stage lung cancer. You may join if your first follow-up scan shows no cancer and you are generally healthy.
This study explores whether a personalized exercise and nutrition program can improve outcomes for people with early-stage NSCLC. If you qualify, you will receive support from a health team and use a device to monitor your progress.
