Pre-Surgery workouts may boost recovery in lung cancer
NCT ID NCT07479407
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program, done alongside chemotherapy or immunotherapy, can improve fitness and recovery in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. 74 participants will be randomly assigned to either exercise training or usual care. The main goal is to see if exercise boosts peak oxygen uptake before surgery, which is linked to better surgical outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- supervised exercise training
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that a structured exercise program helps lung cancer patients stay fitter before surgery and recover faster afterward.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (74 people) that hasn't started yet. Exercise may not improve fitness enough to change surgical outcomes, and results may not apply to all patients.
