NCT ID NCT00618553
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a pulmonary rehabilitation program can improve lung function enough to make lung cancer patients eligible for surgery. Researchers will enroll 75 patients who were initially deemed unable to have surgery due to poor lung health. The goal is to see if rehab can turn ineligible patients into surgical candidates and improve their recovery after surgery.
