Recovery of heart and lung fitness after lung surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for lung surgery (like removing a lobe or a wedge-shaped piece).
- You are healthy enough for surgery based on heart and lung tests.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not had severe heart problems, a heart attack, or chest pain in the last 3 months.
- You have not had a stroke or bleeding in the brain in the last 3 months.
- You can cooperate with tests and do not have a mental health condition that prevents communication.

This study uses a computer program to analyze lung function before and after surgery for early-stage lung cancer. It aims to help doctors better predict recovery and plan care.
This study tests a hospital rehab program to see if it helps people recover better after lung surgery. It may help if you have trouble breathing or have limited lung function before surgery.
This study tests a personalized exercise program for your lungs after lung cancer surgery. It uses a smartphone to guide your recovery and aims to help you heal and breathe better.
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.
This study tests whether doing a supervised exercise program before your surgery (and during your pre-surgery cancer treatment) can improve your heart and lung fitness, which may help you recover better after surgery. You will be randomly assigned to either the exercise group or a standard-care group.
This study looks at how well your lungs work after surgery for lung cancer. It uses special scans and breathing tests to help doctors better predict your recovery.
