Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for patients with non-small cell lung cancer who can participate in an exercise program before their surgery. Participants will meet certain health criteria and will be involved in understanding how exercise affects their recovery and tumor environment.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

About This Trial
There is increased interest and knowledge about the lung cancer tumor microenvironment (TME). Investigators hypothesize that patients with better baseline physiologic health will have better post-operative outcomes and that strenuous exercise will alter the TME and genetic make-up of the tumor, improving the tumor immune response. Investigators aim to identify the peri-operative and clinical outco…
