Physical therapy and relaxation before lung cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether physical therapy exercises and relaxation techniques done before surgery can help adults with lung cancer feel stronger, recover better, and have better surgical outcomes. You'll work with specialists to prepare your body and mind for the operation.

This trial tests whether a pre-surgery exercise program can improve your fitness and recovery. If you have advanced non-small cell lung cancer and are scheduled for treatment with chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy before surgery, this study might help you prepare physically.
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 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 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 trial looks at whether a “prehabilitation” (guided exercise and fitness preparation) program helps people with non-small cell lung cancer get ready for surgery after starting treatment before surgery. It may help you tolerate treatment and surgery better if you can do the required fitness testing and procedures.
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.
