Recovery from lung cancer surgery
This information is provided directly by researchers, and we recognise that it isn't always easy to understand. We are working with researchers to improve the accessibility of this information. In some summaries, you may come across links to external websites. These websites will have more information to help you better understand the study.
Surgery remains the best option for the cure of patients with lung cancer. Around 7000 people in the UK undergo lung surgery each year, but up to 45% of patients developed post-operative complications leading to readmission to hospital and potentially poorer quality of life. National and international cancer, surgery and nutrition guidelines recommend a combination of exercise and nutritional support before and after surgery to help reduce post-operative complications. However it is not clear what is the best way to deliver this. Personalised exercise, nutrition and health information programmes delivered via an App may be a way to provide the right advice and support at the right time for each individual patient.
The F4S-2 trial aims to find out if providing an App that delivers personalised exercise, nutrition and health information, in addition to any support that lung surgery patients would normally receive, improves physical recovery, reduce the chances of developing complications or the impact of them on quality of life, and save cost in the NHS.
