This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a supervised exercise and wellness program — including fitness training, breathing exercises, and nutritional support — can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer maintain their strength and lung function while receiving chemotherapy before surgery. Chemotherapy can weaken the heart and lungs, which may make surgery riskier and recovery harder. Researchers want to see if staying active and fit during treatment prevents these problems.
Before surgery for advanced lung cancer, patients receive strong chemotherapy drugs that can damage heart and lung function, making surgery more dangerous and recovery slower. This trial tests whether helping patients stay fit during this treatment period can protect their health and improve surgical outcomes.

If you join the exercise program group, you will attend supervised sessions combining fitness training, breathing exercises, and nutritional guidance while undergoing your cancer treatment. If you prefer not to join the program, you can still participate in the study and receive standard activity recommendations. Both groups will have their heart and lung fitness, strength, mood, and recovery measured at different time points — before treatment starts, during treatment, and after surgery. The study takes place across hospitals in Spain and France.
