Exercise program aims to boost recovery after lung cancer surgery
NCT ID NCT07159646
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This pilot study will test whether a 6-month athletic program can improve lung function and quality of life in 10 patients who had surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. Participants will follow a supervised exercise plan and be compared to similar patients who did not exercise. The goal is to see if this approach helps recovery.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a structured exercise program to help lung cancer patients recover better after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is too early to know if the program truly improves lung function or quality of life.
