Summary

This pilot study is testing whether a personalized exercise regimen, delivered via telehealth, is feasible and safe for people with stage II or III non-small cell lung cancer who are receiving chemotherapy or immunotherapy and surgery. Twenty participants will follow a home-based program that includes mobility, aerobic, and resistance exercises, with one supervised session per week. The main goals are to see if patients can stick with the program and if it is safe, not yet to measure health benefits.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Precision Exercise Regimen for Cancer Care (PERCC) - a personalized home-based exercise program delivered via telehealth
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that a tailored exercise program is practical and safe for lung cancer patients, paving the way for larger studies to improve physical function and quality of life.
What could go wrong: This is a very small pilot study (20 participants) focused only on feasibility and safety, not on whether exercise actually improves health outcomes. Results may not apply to all lung cancer patients.
