Exercise program before radiation therapy for lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at stage 1, 2, or 3 that hasn't spread widely
- Your doctor plans to treat you with radiation therapy as your main treatment, not chemotherapy or immunotherapy
- You are well enough to exercise moderately (your doctor must approve this with a heart test)
- You are 18 years or older and can speak and read English
- Your heart is stable—no recent chest pain, heart failure, dangerous heart rhythms, or uncontrolled diabetes
- You can safely exercise on a stationary bike without physical limitations
