Summary
This study tested a structured physiotherapy program for 60 people who had lung cancer surgery. The program included breathing exercises, early walking, and posture training during their hospital stay. Researchers measured how long people stayed in the hospital and checked vital signs, fatigue, and breathing difficulty. They also looked at whether age (45-59 vs 60-90) affected results.

Active substance
structured postoperative pulmonary physiotherapy program
What this could lead to
If this program works well, it could help people recover faster after lung cancer surgery and reduce hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-arm study with no comparison group, so results may not be generalizable. The program is only tested during hospital stay and may not work for everyone.
