Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Lung cancer is the most common cancer in the world and surgical resection remains the gold standard curative treatment in early stage non-small cell lung cancer. However, surgery itself is the direct cause of pulmonary function impairment, which dramatically reduces patients tolerance to exercise and their quality of life. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) complements surgical treatment and improves patients' exercise and functional capacity, decreases dyspnea, improves health status. Our aim is to examine the effectiveness of PR applied after lung resection in patients with lung cancer, 2- To determine whether the respiratory exercise training given to patients who could not participate in the PR program is effective.
