NCT01258478

Brief Summary

Patients suffering from non small cell lung cancer(NSCLC), depend upon lung removal to increase their chances of survival. But, this type of surgery cannot be advised to patients with significant heart disease, limited lung fuction or reduced physical fitness. Intensive physical training has been shown to increase aerobic fitness in healthy subjects. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a short term rehabilitation prior to surgery on the post-operative and physiological outcomes for patients undergoing this type of surgery.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Proven or suspected lung cancer, stage III A or less (eligible for surgical cure), documented by CT-scan or Positron Emission Tomography CT scan (PET-CT)

You may not qualify if:

  • Contra-indication to perform cardio-pulmonary exercise test (uncontrolled cardiac disease, severe pulmonary hypertension, osteo-articular limitations impeding cycling)
  • Inability to adhere to rehabilitation program (because of clinically limiting comorbidity, psychiatric condition or osteoarthritis)
  • Clinically limiting or untreated heart disease
