Summary

This study tests a 12-week program called Breathe Easier+ for people who have finished treatment for non-small cell lung cancer and their partners. The program includes guided walking, resistance training, coaching calls, and stress management delivered remotely via smartphone or tablet. Researchers want to see if the program is practical and if it helps improve fitness, reduce fatigue and breathlessness, and boost quality of life for both survivors and their partners.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that a remote exercise and stress program is feasible and helpful for lung cancer survivors and their partners, improving fitness and quality of life.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 20 participants and no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The program requires significant commitment and technology access.
