This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether doing guided exercise sessions during radiation therapy for non-small cell lung cancer helps patients maintain their physical strength and improves both their quality of life and their family caregiver's wellbeing. The exercise program combines resistance training, aerobic activity, and stretching—using just your bodyweight and elastic bands—and is designed to be done alongside your regular radiation treatment.
Radiation therapy for lung cancer can be physically demanding and tiring, and patients often become weaker during treatment. This study aims to see if exercising during this time can help patients stay stronger and feel better, while also supporting their caregivers.
If you join this study, you and your family caregiver would participate in up to 15 exercise sessions during your 5–6 weeks of radiation therapy. Each session lasts up to 60 minutes and includes a mix of strengthening exercises, aerobic activity, and stretching using simple equipment like elastic bands. You'll also complete some questionnaires before and after the program so the researchers can see how you're feeling physically and emotionally.
