The authors concluded that there is moderate to high certainty evidence that exercise training including aerobic and resistance exercises can positively affect patients with NSCLC after lung resection as assessed by exercise capacity and quadriceps muscle force. Is exercise training effective within 12 months of lung resection for non-small cell lung cancer? The 5-year survival rate in NSCLC can be up to 92% if lung resection is performed.3,4 Along with other complications related to lung cancer, the most common, negatively perceived complications by patients5 are decreased physical activity or exercise tolerance.
