“…There are a number of studies [1][2][3] suggesting that cardiopulmonary exercise testing is one of the most valuable parameters for the evaluation of risk assessment in lung cancer surgery. It is a sophisticated physiological test from which maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) can be calculated.…”

“…Most importantly, preoperative exercise training or rehabilitation could increase the numbers of candidates eligible for curativeintent pulmonary resection. Currently, pulmonary resection is standard care for patients diagnosed with operable lung cancer and other thoracic diseases but it is associated with significant complications (Beckles et al 2003a;Semik et al 2001). Patients with a VO 2peak £15 mL kg −1 min −1 or a 6MWD £250 m have a poor postoperative prognosis and are borderline surgical candidates (Win et al 2006;Datta and Lahiri 2003).…”

A lung cancer diagnosis and associated therapeutic management is associated with unique and varying degrees of adverse physical/functional impairments that dramatically reduce a patient's ability to tolerate exercise. Poor exercise tolerance predisposes to increased susceptibility to other common age-related diseases, poor quality of life (QOL), and likely premature death. Here we review the putative literature investigating the role of exercise as an adjunct therapy across the lung cancer continuum (i.e., diagnosis to palliation). The current evidence suggests that exercise training is a safe and feasible adjunct therapy for operable lung cancer patients both before and after pulmonary resection. Among patients with inoperable disease, feasibility and safety studies of carefully prescribed exercise training are warranted. Preliminary evidence in this area supports that exercise therapy may be an important consideration in multidisciplinary management of patients diagnosed with lung cancer.

“…Most importantly, preoperative exercise training or rehabilitation could increase the numbers of candidates eligible for curative-intent pulmonary resection. Currently, pulmonary resection is standard care for patients diagnosed with operable NSCLC and other thoracic diseases but is associated with signifi cant complications [18,31]. Patients with a Vo 2peak ≤ 15 mL·kg -1 ·min -1 or a 6MWD ≤ 250 m have poor postoperative outcomes and are borderline surgical candidates [27,32].…”

A lung cancer diagnosis and associated therapeutic management are associated with unique and varying degrees of adverse physical/functional impairments that dramatically reduce patients' ability to tolerate exercise. Poor exercise capacity predisposes to increased susceptibility to other common age-related diseases, poor quality of life, and likely premature death. This article reviews the literature investigating the role of exercise as an adjunct therapy across the lung cancer continuum (ie, prevention to palliation). The current evidence suggests that exercise training is a safe and feasible adjunct therapy for patients with operable lung cancer both before and after pulmonary resection. Among patients with inoperable disease, feasibility and safety studies of carefully prescribed exercise training are warranted. Preliminary evidence in this area suggests that exercise therapy may be an important consideration in multidisciplinary management of patients diagnosed with lung cancer.
