Heart and Lung Fitness Testing During Lung Cancer Treatment
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study measures how well your heart and lungs work before and during lung cancer treatment using an exercise test. The goal is to understand how cancer treatment affects your physical fitness and help doctors better monitor your health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how your body uses energy during surgery and whether those patterns relate to how well you do after surgery. It may help doctors better predict outcomes for people with newly diagnosed esophageal or lung cancer who are preparing for treatment.
This study looks at how lung cancer treatment affects the heart and whether a “walking test” and blood tests can track heart fitness and injury. It may help by improving how cancer therapy is planned and monitored for heart safety.
This study compares how well patients recover their heart and lung fitness after two types of lung surgery: removing a whole lobe versus removing a smaller part of the lung. It may help doctors understand which surgery leads to better recovery.
This study looks at how your heart and lungs work during exercise by using a special test called a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). Researchers will follow you for up to five years to see how your health changes. It may help you understand your heart condition better and get more personalized care.
This trial tests if doing exercise before lung cancer surgery can help people with moderate-to-high risk. Participants will exercise for a short period to see if it improves their recovery.
This study measures how healthy people's hearts and lungs respond to exercise. By joining, you help create standards for normal exercise capacity in China.
