Exercise interventions significantly enhance quality of life in lung cancer patients, particularly in physical domains.
Pooled analysis demonstrated a moderate improvement in 6-minute walk test performance, with a notable effect size of g = 0.50.
Meta-regression results indicate that outcome domains, such as quality of life and physical function, significantly influence intervention effectiveness.
Findings underscore the importance of structured exercise as a routine component of palliative lung cancer care to improve functional capacity.
