Randomized Phase 3 study of Peri-op Physical Activity in Lung Cancer

Purpose of this Study

We are doing this study to find out if a personalized exercise program designed for lung cancer patients can help with recovery from lung surgery. The study's exercise program is delivered over the phone.

    What is Involved?

    Description

    If you choose to join this study, you will get a random assignment (like a coin flip) to either:
    • Take part in the study exercise program, which involves wearing a pedometer and joining a telephone-coaching group with telephone-based physical activity coaching (5 sessions); OR
    • Get a standard guidance packet related to physical activity after surgery from the American Society of Clinical Oncology
    Participation is expected to last about 7 months. During this time, we will keep in touch with you to see how you are doing.
