Key result
Preoperative pulmonary rehabilitation in lung cancer patients aims to increase functional capacity, prevent postoperative complications, shorten hospitalization, and may enable surgery in previously inoperable patients.
Why the study?
Does preoperative pulmonary rehabilitation improve functional capacity and prevent postoperative complications in lung cancer patients?
Does preoperative pulmonary rehabilitation improve functional capacity and prevent postoperative complications in lung cancer patients?
Preoperative pulmonary rehabilitation aims to improve functional capacity, reduce complications, and potentially enable surgery in previously inoperable lung cancer patients.
May support preoperative pulmonary rehabilitation in lung cancer surgery candidates; leaves open confirmation by randomized trials.
Functional capacity decreases depending on course of disease as well as cancer treatment in lung cancer patients. Preoperative pulmonary rehabilitation aims to increase functional capacity, prevent postoperative complications, shorten hospitalization duration, and improve quality of life in lung cancer patients. Additionally, the operation may be possible in inoperable patients because of limitations in exercise capacity after pulmonary rehabilitation.
