This study tests whether a special nutrition drink with omega-3 (a healthy fat found in fish) can help people recover better after lung cancer surgery. You may qualify if you are about to have lung removal surgery.
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 trial looks at giving immunotherapy before surgery for certain early-stage lung cancers to help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes. It is mainly for people whose lung cancer can be removed by surgery and who don’t have specific gene changes like EGFR or ALK.
This study tests if doing exercise before lung cancer surgery helps patients recover faster and have fewer complications. It is for patients who are scheduled for lung surgery and are not already in an exercise program.
This trial tests whether giving two immunotherapy drugs directly into the tumor before surgery can shrink non-small cell lung cancer and improve outcomes. It is for people with early-stage (IIIA) lung cancer who are candidates for surgery.
This study looks at whether drinking different amounts of clear fluids before lung cancer surgery helps you recover better. It may help you stay hydrated and feel more comfortable during and after surgery.
