Key result
A 6-week hospital-based supervised group exercise and relaxation intervention was feasible with a 76% adherence rate, though patients failed to comply with concurrent home-based exercise.
Why the study?
Does a supervised exercise and relaxation program improve physical and emotional wellbeing and demonstrate feasibility in former sedentary patients with advanced lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy?
Does a supervised exercise and relaxation program improve physical and emotional wellbeing and demonstrate feasibility in former sedentary patients with advanced lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy?
A 6-week supervised hospital-based exercise and relaxation program is feasible, safe, and provides physical and emotional benefits for advanced lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, whereas unsupervised home-based exercise has poor compliance.

Supports further evaluation of supervised programs in advanced lung cancer; leaves open efficacy and adherence optimization.
Adamsen et al. (2011) studied Advanced stage lung cancer (NSCLC III-IV and SCLC ED) (n=23). Hospital-based supervised group exercise and relaxation program was evaluated on Feasibility (adherence rate). A 6-week hospital-based supervised group exercise and relaxation intervention was feasible with a 76% adherence rate, though patients failed to comply with concurrent home-based exercise.
