Summary
This study tests whether doing special breathing exercises for several weeks before lung cancer surgery can lower the chance of serious lung problems like pneumonia or breathing failure after the operation. About 220 adults with stage I to IIIB lung cancer will either do the breathing training or receive usual care. The goal is to see if stronger breathing muscles lead to a smoother recovery and better quality of life.
