Key result
Preoperative physical training significantly reduced the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications (OR 0.13; 95% CI 0.05-0.34) after radical surgery for non-small cell lung cancer.

May support preoperative training to cut pulmonary complications in NSCLC surgery; hypothesis-generating, needs RCTs before practice change.
RCT (n=151)
What patient and procedural features predict early and mid-term outcomes after radical surgery for non-small cell lung cancer?
Odds Ratio: 0.13 (95% CI 0.05–0.34)
Preexisting cardiopulmonary disease, indicated by elevated BNP and inefficient ventilation, strongly predicts poor clinical outcomes and survival after lung cancer surgery.
Ellenberger et al. (2018) conducted an RCT in Non-small cell lung cancer (n=151). Preoperative physical training vs. Standard care/No training was evaluated on Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) (OR 0.13, 95% CI 0.05-0.34). Preoperative physical training significantly reduced the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications (OR 0.13; 95% CI 0.05-0.34) after radical surgery for non-small cell lung cancer.
