Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of physical activity on both therapeutic efficacy and immune-related adverse events (irAEs) during immunotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Physical activity was divided into three groups: light physical activity (LPA), moderate physical activity (MPA), and vigorous physical activity (VPA) for laboratory indexes, efficacy, and irAEs. A multivariate logistic regression was employed to analyze the relationship between sedentary behavior with efficacy and irAEs. RESULTS The study included 121 patients. The three levels of physical activity were not significantly associated with efficacy or irAEs. However, noteworthy disparities were observed in base-hemoglobin levels (F = 3.4, P = 0.037) and base-lymphocyte levels (χ2 = 6.13, P = 0.047) among the three groups. After treatment, we identified statistically significant variations in albumin levels (P = 0.012) and lymphocyte counts (P = 0.035). Furthermore, a negative correlation emerged between pre-treatment sedentary behavior duration and immune-efficacy (β: -0.005, P = 0.027). CONCLUSIONS In summary, within the cohort of NSCLC patients undergoing single immunotherapy or a combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy, physical activity is closely related to immune and inflammatory indicators in patients, and prolonged sitting will reduce the therapeutic effect.

Abstract
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are associated with high mortality rates after lung cancer surgery. Although some studies have discussed the different risk factors for PPCs, the relationship between these factors and their impact on PPCs remains unclear. Hence, this study aimed to systematically summarize the incidence and determine the risk factors for PPCs. We conducted a systematic search of five English and four Chinese databases from their inception to April 1, 2023. A total of 34 articles (8 cohort studies and 26 case-control studies) (n = 31696, 5833 with PPCs) were included in the analysis. The primary outcome was the incidence of PPC. The secondary outcome was the odds ratio (OR) of PPCs based on the identified risk factors calculated by RevMan 5.4. A narrative descriptive summary of the study results was presented when pooling the results or conducting a meta-analysis was not possible. The pooled incidence of PPCs was 18.4 %. This meta-analysis demonstrated that TNM staging (OR 4.29, 95 % CI 2.59-7.13), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (OR 2.47, 95 % CI 1.80-3.40), smoking history (OR 2.37, 95 % CI 1.33-4.21), poor compliance with respiratory rehabilitation (OR 1.64, 95 % CI 1.17-2.30), male sex (OR 1.62, 95 % CI 1.28-2.04), diabetes (OR 1.56, 95 % CI 1.07-2.27), intraoperative bleeding volume (OR 1.44, 95 % CI 1.02-2.04), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score (ECOG) > 1 (OR 1.37, 95 % CI 1.04-1.80), history of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy (OR 1.32, 95 % CI 1.03-1.70), older age (OR 1.18, 95 % CI 1.11-1.24), and duration of surgery (OR 1.07, 95 % CI 1.04-1.10) were significantly associated with a higher risk of PPCs. In contrast, the peak expiratory flow rate (PEF) (OR 0.99, 95 % CI 0.98-0.99) was a protective factor. Clinicians should implement targeted and effective interventions to prevent the occurrence of PPCs.

Abstract
Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the postoperative recovery period often experience reduced exercise capacity and impaired lung function, which affects their overall quality of life. This paper investigated the effect of exercise interventions on exercise capacity, lung function, quality of life, and symptoms in these patients. METHODS We performed a literature search across Cochrane, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and EBSCO databases were comprehensively searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from inception to September 2023, all English RCTs were eligible if they assessed the effects of exercise interventions on postoperative NSCLC patients. RESULTS Twelve articles met our inclusion criteria, evidencing that exercise interventions could significantly improve the functional capacity of NSCLC patients in postoperative recovery. Notably, Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 s (FEV1) was improved, indicating enhanced lung function. Furthermore, exercise improved the physical and mental health scores of SF-36, along with increased quadriceps strength and relieved dyspnea. However, fatigue levels were not significantly changed. CONCLUSIONS Exercise interventions of NSCLC patients in the postoperative recovery are associated with improved functional capacity, lung function, quality of life, and quadriceps strength, as well as alleviated symptoms of dyspnea. These findings underscore the potential benefits of incorporating exercise into postoperative care for NSCLC patients. Nonetheless, further large-scale RCTs are required to solidify the evidence base on the clinical outcomes of exercise following pneumonectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung resection is the standard of care for patients with clinical stage I/II non-small cell lung cancer. This surgery reduces both the duration and quality of patients' daily ambulatory activities 1 month after surgery. However, little is known about physical activity after lung resection in patients with lung cancer. To evaluate the recovery process of physical activity with pulmonary rehabilitation in patients after lung resection and examine whether physical activity is affected by age. METHODS In this prospective, observational study, we measured and analysed participants' postoperative physical activity using a uniaxial accelerometer daily from postoperative day 1 to 30. FINDINGS We analysed 99 patients who underwent thoracic surgery. The number of walking steps significantly increased until day 4 and then reached a plateau thereafter. The duration of exercise at <3 metabolic equivalents significantly increased until day 3, and no significant difference was observed thereafter. Exercise at >3 metabolic equivalents significantly increased until day 4 and reached a plateau thereafter. A significant correlation was observed between age and number of steps after day 4. Compared with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, thoracotomy significantly decreased the number of steps from day 3 to 4. INTERPRETATION We found that the level of physical activity varied by index in patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent lung resection. Age and surgical procedure affect different periods with the increase in post-operative walking steps.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To explore the safety and effectiveness of personalized exercise intervention during chemotherapy for lung cancer patients who were relatively weak and with compromised cardiopulmonary function. METHODS Thirty-eight lung cancer patients treated with chemotherapy at Peking University Third Hospital were enrolled in this prospective study. The exercise group (N = 21) received individualized exercise guidance based on personal test results and exercised regularly, while the control group (N = 17) only received exercise education and planed exercise methods according to their own preferences. Both groups underwent three fitness tests and clinical indicator assessments at 0, 6, and 12 weeks after starting the exercise, and the differences in trends of various indicators between the two groups were compared. RESULTS No exercise-related adverse events occurred during the 12-week exercise period. After 12 weeks of exercise training, in terms of fitness, the exercise group showed significant improvements in 6-min walk test (6MWT) (p < 0.001), peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) (p = 0.005), muscle content (p < 0.001), muscle percentage (p < 0.001), and grip strength (p = 0.008) compared to the control group. In terms of clinical indicators, the exercise group showed significant improvements in vital capacity (p = 0.018), D-dimer (p = 0.031), and C-reactive protein (CRP) (p = 0.01), uric acid (p = 0.003), triglycerides (p < 0.001), functional average score (p < 0.001), and main symptom average score (p = 0.004) compared to the control group in trends over time. CONCLUSION Rehabilitation exercises using individualized exercise prescriptions tailored by exercise prescription specialists during chemotherapy are safe for lung cancer patients. Adhering to exercise can achieve comprehensive improvements in physical fitness and quality of life at 12 weeks.

Abstract
PURPOSE Physical activity can provide analgesic benefit but its effect on cancer-related pain is unclear. This review synthesised and appraised the evidence for the effect of physical activity on pain in people living with or beyond cancer. METHODS A systematic search of Ovid Medline and Embase was performed to identify randomised controlled trials (RCTs), randomised cross-over studies (RXTs), and prospective observational studies that examined physical activity and pain outcomes in adults living with or beyond cancer. Meta-analyses were performed to generate effect estimates. Risk of bias was assessed, and the GRADE system was used to assess evidence quality. RESULTS One hundred twenty-one studies (n = 13,806), including 102 RCTs, 6 RXTs, and 13 observational studies, met the criteria for inclusion. Meta-analyses of RCTs identified a decrease in pain intensity (n = 3734; standardised mean difference (SMD) - 0.30; 95% confidence interval (CI) - 0.45, - 0.15) and bodily pain (n = 1170; SMD 0.28; 95% CI 0.01, 0.56) but not pain interference (n = 207; SMD - 0.13, 95% CI - 0.42, 0.15) following physical activity interventions. Individual studies also identified a reduction in pain sensitivity but not analgesic use, although meta-analysis was not possible for these outcomes. High heterogeneity between studies, low certainty in some effect estimates, and possible publication bias meant that evidence quality was graded as very low to low. CONCLUSION Physical activity may decrease pain in people living with and beyond cancer; however, high heterogeneity limits the ability to generalise this finding to all people with cancer or to specific types of cancer-related pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As one of the fatal diseases with high incidence, lung cancer has seriously endangered public health and safety. Elderly patients usually have poor self-care and are more likely to show a series of psychological problems. AIM To investigate the effectiveness of the initial check, information exchange, final accuracy check, reaction (IIFAR) information care model on the mental health status of elderly patients with lung cancer. METHODS This study is a single-centre study. We randomly recruited 60 elderly patients with lung cancer who attended our hospital from January 2021 to January 2022. These elderly patients with lung cancer were randomly divided into two groups, with the control group taking the conventional propaganda and education and the observation group taking the IIFAR information care model based on the conventional care protocol. The differences in psychological distress, anxiety and depression, life quality, fatigue, and the locus of control in psychology were compared between these two groups, and the causes of psychological distress were analyzed. RESULTS After the intervention, Distress Thermometer, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) for anxiety and the HADS for depression, Revised Piper's Fatigue Scale, and Chance Health Locus of Control scores were lower in the observation group compared to the pre-intervention period in the same group and were significantly lower in the observation group compared to those of the control group (P < 0.05). After the intervention, Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30), Internal Health Locus of Control, and Powerful Others Health Locus of Control scores were significantly higher in the observation and the control groups compared to the pre-intervention period in their same group, and QLQ-C30 scores were significantly higher in the observation group compared to those of the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The IIFAR information care model can help elderly patients with lung cancer by reducing their anxiety and depression, psychological distress, and fatigue, improving their tendencies on the locus of control in psychology, and enhancing their life qualities.

Abstract
Deaths from lung cancer are mostly caused by smoking. Cough, dyspnea, fatigue, weight loss, and Horner's syndrome are among the symptoms. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) are the two categories into which lung cancer may be divided. Because of its effectiveness and lower death rates, lobectomy is the primary line of therapy for benign and early-stage lung illnesses. Pulmonary rehabilitation is a routine treatment for thoracic surgery individuals who are at a high risk to improve functional ability, avoid postoperative deterioration, avoid postoperative deterioration, and reduce complications and even hospital stays. Pulmonary rehabilitation is a multifaceted continuum of services intended to help individuals with pulmonary disease and their families reach and sustain their highest possible degree of independence and community functioning, typically provided by an interdisciplinary team of specialists. The objective of this research was to gather preliminary information and assess the effects of pre-rehabilitation on those suffering from lung cancer and having lobectomy. The pre-rehabilitation program's outcomes include increased lung functional capacity, enhanced quality of life, patient independence in daily living activities, and a shorter hospital stay. Gradually increasing walking distance over time can build endurance, requiring consistency, pacing, proper hydration, nutrition, and regular breaks. This review analyzed the effect of pre-rehabilitation in lung cancer patients undergoing lobectomy. Pre-rehabilitation program for individuals with lung cancer improves both preoperative and postoperative health through various exercises. Pulmonary rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary approach that encourages physical activity, learning about disease, treatment options, and coping mechanisms. Instead of curing the illness, its goal is to lessen its symptoms and limitations. Patients with pulmonary diseases or undergoing thoracic surgery prefer pre-rehabilitation programs due to their non-traumatic nature and fewer resources required. Elastic resistance band exercises are beneficial for lung cancer patients' pre-rehabilitation by strengthening and stretching muscle groups, improving exercise capacity, and supporting white blood cell counts. These exercises can be customized to individual needs, making them a safe and effective addition to a patient's exercise routine. They have to be carried out at least three days a week. Pulmonary exercise, including the use of a tri-ball pulmonary exerciser or three-ball spirometer, can improve lung function, respiratory muscle strength, and exercise capacity in lung cancer patients. It involves breathing techniques, cough exercises, and inflating a balloon. Pulmonary rehabilitation has a positive impact on patient health. Improved lung vital capacity, shorter hospital stays, and fewer problems following surgery are all achieved with pulmonary rehabilitation. The pre-rehabilitation plan allows the patient to resume their daily routines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early postoperative exercise is effective in improving the prognosis of postoperative lung cancer patients, but compliance was lower than expected. Factors affecting lung cancer patients' intention to perform early postoperative exercise were unclear. PURPOSE To discuss the factors affecting lung cancer patients' intention to perform early postoperative exercise based on the Theory of Planned Behavior. METHODS This was a qualitative study. Twenty-five lung cancer patients were recruited using purposive sampling, and semi-structured face-to-face interviews were performed. The reflexive intuitive thematic analysis method was used, and triangulation was employed to ensure the credibility of the study. RESULTS Results of this study identified 8 themes from 3 aspects. For behavioral attitudes, two themes emerged: (1) Aware of the benefits of postoperative exercise, (2) Underestimate the importance of postoperative exercise. For subjective norms, four themes emerged: (1) Influence of caregiver support on carrying out postoperative exercise, (2) Short-term supervision of medical staff, (3) Positive driving effect from other patients, and (4) Motivation due to family responsibility. For perceived behavior control, two themes and six sub-themes emerged: (1) Obstacles before actual exercise (Lack of adequate knowledge of postoperative pulmonary exercise, Less active in seeking related knowledge about rehabilitation exercise, and Misconceptions about rehabilitation exercise); (2) Unpleasant experiences during exercise (Physical discomfort, Limited space and depressive atmosphere, and Psychological burden). CONCLUSIONS Several factors could affect lung cancer patients' early postoperative exercise behavior. Healthcare professionals should fully understand these factors from patients' perspectives. Special interventions should be designed for the patients and their caregivers to correct cognitive bias, reduce obstacles, and promote compliance with exercise.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION With a median age at diagnosis of 70, lung cancer represents an enormous public health problem among older Americans. An estimated 19,000 people age 65 and older undergo lung cancer surgery annually in the US. Older adults undergoing lung cancer surgery are often frail with limited physiologic reserves, multi-morbidities, and functional impairments. Physical function, dyspnea, and quality of life return to baseline slower in older adults compared with younger adults after lung surgery. AREAS COVERED In this review, we summarize available data about perioperative physical activity interventions that may improve outcomes for older adults undergoing lung cancer surgery. We also review the limitations of existing studies and discuss emerging data on the roles of telehealth and family caregiver inclusion in peri-operative physical activity interventions. EXPERT OPINION We propose that future perioperative physical activity interventions in older adults undergoing lung cancer surgery should include a comprehensive geriatric assessment to guide personalized interventions. Interventions should be conceptually based, with a focus on enhancing self-efficacy, motivation, and adherence through classic behavior change strategies that are proven to impact outcomes. Finally, interventions should be designed with attention to feasibility and scalability. Exercise programs delivered via telehealth (telephone or tele-video) may improve access and convenience for patients.

Abstract
Chronic respiratory diseases (CRD), is a group of disorders, primarily chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma, which are characterized by high prevalence and disability, recurrent acute exacerbations, and multiple comorbidities, resulting in exercise limitations and reduced health-related quality of life. Exercise training, an important tool in pulmonary rehabilitation, reduces adverse symptoms in patients by relieving respiratory limitations, increasing gas exchange, increasing central and peripheral hemodynamic forces, and enhancing skeletal muscle function. Aerobic, resistance, and high-intensity intermittent exercises, and other emerging forms such as aquatic exercise and Tai Chi effectively improve exercise capacity, physical fitness, and pulmonary function in patients with CRD. The underlying mechanisms include enhancement of the body's immune response, better control of the inflammatory response, and acceleration of the interaction between the vagus and sympathetic nerves to improve gas exchange. Here, we reviewed the new evidence of benefits and mechanisms of exercise intervention in the pulmonary rehabilitation of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis, interstitial lung disease, and lung cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The effects of preoperative respiratory muscle training (RMT) on postoperative complications in patients surgically treated for myasthenia gravis (MG) remain unclear. The present study therefore evaluated the effects of preoperative moderate-to-intense RMT and aerobic exercise, when added to respiratory physiotherapy, on respiratory vital capacity, exercise capacity, and duration of hospital stay in patients with MG. METHODS Eighty patients with MG scheduled for extended thymectomy were randomly divided into two groups. The 40 subjects in the study group (SG) received preoperative moderate-to-intense RMT and aerobic exercise in addition to respiratory physiotherapy, whereas the 40 subjects in the control group (CG) received only chest physiotherapy. Respiratory vital capacity (as determined by VC, FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, and PEF) and exercise capacity (as determined by the 6-min walk test [6 MWT]) were measured pre- and postoperatively and before discharge. The duration of hospital stay and activity of daily living (ADL) were also determined. RESULTS Demographic and surgical characteristics, along with preoperative vital capacity and exercise capacity, were similar in the two groups. In the CG, VC (p = 0.001), FVC (p = 0.001), FEV1 (p = 0.002), PEF (p = 0.004), and 6MWT (p = 0.041) were significantly lower postoperatively than preoperatively, whereas the FEV1/FVC ratio did not differ significantly. Postoperative VC (p = 0.012), FVC (p = 0.030), FEV1 (p = 0.014), and PEF (p = 0.035) were significantly higher in the SG than in the CG, although 6MWT results did not differ. ADL on postoperative day 5 was significantly higher in the SG than in the CG (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION RMT and aerobic exercise can have positive effects on postoperative respiratory vital capacity and daily life activity, and would enhance recovery after surgery in MG patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer is a malignant tumor with high morbidity and mortality among cancers. Surgery is currently one of the primary methods of treating lung cancer. Although it can slow down the progression of the disease by removing the lesion, this invasive surgery inevitably damages the integrity of the patient’s chest. Moreover, the patient’s pulmonary function may have a low compensatory capacity after surgery, causing various respiratory diseases such as atelectasis, respiratory function decline, and even serious cardiovascular disease. All of these have great negative impacts on the surgical effect and the prognosis of patients. With the continuous exploration and development of nursing, continuous nursing and respiratory exercise nursing have been gradually applied in the nursing of patients after lung cancer surgery, and have achieved good nursing results.
AIM To investigate the effect of continuous nursing combined with respiratory exercise nursing on the pulmonary function of postoperative patients with lung cancer.
METHODS A total of 80 patients with lung cancer who underwent surgery in our hospital from January 2021 to December 2021 were selected as the study subjects. All subjects were randomly divided into the control group (n = 40 cases) and the experimental group (n = 40 cases). Patients with lung cancer in the control group were given conventional nursing after surgery, while the experimental group was given continuous nursing combined with respiratory exercise nursing based on conventional nursing. The recovery of pulmonary function and respiratory symptoms was observed before and after 3 mo of intervention in both groups. The pulmonary function parameters, blood gas analysis, MD Anderson Symptom Inventory-lung cancer module (MDASI-LC) scores, incidence of pulmonary complications, and Morisky compliance scores were compared between the two groups before and after 3 mo of intervention.
RESULTS There was no significant difference in pulmonary function and blood gas analysis between the two groups before intervention (P > 0.05). 3 mo after the intervention, the pulmonary function parameters in the experimental group (SpO2, VC, MVV, FEV1, FEV1% pred, and FEV1/FVC) were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in blood gas analysis between the two groups before intervention (P > 0.05). PaO2 in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and PaCO2 was significantly lower than that in the control group 3 mo after the intervention. The difference had statistical significance (P < 0.05). 3 mo after the intervention, the MDASI score of respiratory symptoms in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05), and the incidence of pulmonary complications was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). In addition, the treatment compliance and nursing satisfaction of patients in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION Continuous nursing combined with respiratory exercise nursing can significantly accelerate the recovery of respiratory function in postoperative lung cancer patients, reduce the incidence of postoperative complications of lung cancer as well as improve the treatment compliance of patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To discuss the effects of physical activity on cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in lung cancer patients, summarize the types of physical activity in the published reviews, assess the quality of the evidence, and provide suggestions for the clinical selection of exercise intervention. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were searched through 8 November 2021 to identify relevant systematic reviews and meta-analyses. We also performed a manual search of the reference lists of included articles as supplements. Two researchers independently performed literature screening, data extraction, and quality assessment. The umbrella review has been registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Review (PROSPERO) registry (CRD42021292548). RESULTS From the 13 systematic reviews or meta-analyses identified, 10 physical activity interventions were included. The most mentioned intervention was aerobic combined with resistance exercise; however, no reduction of the symptoms of CRF was observed in lung cancer patients by this exercise intervention. Most of the patients who performed aerobic exercises alone showed improvement in CRF after the intervention. In addition, Tai Chi and breathing exercises have been shown to improve fatigue, but more high-quality research is still needed to support its effectiveness. CONCLUSIONS Aerobic exercise, respiratory muscle training, aerobic combined with balance training, and other exercise interventions have been shown to improve CRF in lung cancer patients. But it should be noted that according to the different treatment methods and disease stages of patients, individualized rehabilitation programs should be developed for patients. Due to the low methodological quality and evidence quality of some systematic reviews and meta-analyses included in this study, more high-quality clinical studies and systematic reviews are still needed for validation in the future. This umbrella review helps to identify effective ways of exercise to improve fatigue in lung cancer patients before dedicated evidence-based medical guidelines are established.

Abstract
Objective Numerous studies focusing on sedentary behavior (SB) and physical activity (PA) in the context of cancer have been reported in recent years. We analyzed and visualized studies on SB and PA in patients with cancer over the last 20 years using scientometric methods, to provide insights on gaps and deficiencies in the literature, and to inform future research guidelines. Methods All relevant studies in the field from 2001 to October 2022 were reviewed using bibliometric tools, including VOSviewer, Bibliometric online analysis platform, and biblioshiny, to determine the most influential countries, institutions, journals, and authors. We explored current research hotpots and potential research trends, based on keyword clustering and dynamic changes. Our research focuses on PA, SB, and cancer across the entire cancer continuum, from primary prevention to treatment to cancer survivorship. Results Scientometric analysis identified 4,382 relevant manuscripts on SB and PA in the context of cancer, with a 10-fold increase in articles over the past 20 years. The United States, Canada, and Australia were the most influential countries. The journal, Supportive Care in Cancer, had the highest number of publications, while Clinical Oncology had the highest H-index. K.S. Courneya was the most influential author in this field, with the highest number of publications, total citations, and H-index. Keyword analysis revealed that current research is focused on PA and SB in patients with breast cancer, quality of life, and aerobic exercise. Future frontiers include cancer prehabilitation programs and cardiorespiratory fitness, and remote intervention and social support. Conclusion By using bibliometrics, we conducted a comprehensive review of SB and PA in cancer-related studies. The current research focused on exercise and sedentariness in breast cancer patients and the role of PA in improving quality of life in survivorship. Emerging research foci were generally around cancer prehabilitation programs and remote intervention issues for PA. In addition, some publication deficits are noted: studies of PA and SB in less common cancers; the recommended doses and intensities of exercise for cancer; the timing of interventions for prehabilitation and the establishment of individualized exercise protocols. These deficiencies align with the needs for future research topics.

Abstract
Objective The study evaluated the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on postoperative complications and lung function in patients with lung cancer compared to usual care. Methods We searched electronic databases in April 2022, including PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). Two authors independently applied the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool to assess the quality of RCTs. The postoperative complications, length of hospitalization, and cardiopulmonary functions from the studies were pooled for statistical analysis. Results A total of 12 randomized controlled trials were eligible for inclusion and were conducted in the meta-analysis. HIIT significantly increased VO2peak (MD = 2.65; 95% CI = 1.70 to 3.60; I2 = 40%; P <0.001) and FEV1 (MD = 0.12; 95% CI = 0.04 to 0.20; I2 = 51%; P = 0.003) compared with usual care. A subgroup analysis of studies that applied HIIT perioperatively showed significant improvement of HIIT on FEV1 (MD = 0.14; 95% CI = 0.08 to 0.20; I2 = 36%; P <0.0001). HIIT significantly reduced the incidence of postoperative atelectasis in lung cancer patients compared with usual care (RD = -0.16; 95% CI = -0.24 to -0.08; I2 = 24%; P <0.0001). There was no statistically significant effect of HIIT on postoperative arrhythmias (RD = -0.05; 95% CI = -0.13 to 0.03; I2 = 40%; P = 0.22), length of hospitalization (MD = -1.64; 95% CI = -3.29 to 0.01; P = 0.05), and the six-minute walk test (MD = 19.77; 95% CI = -15.25 to 54.80; P = 0.27) compared to usual care. Conclusion HIIT may enhance VO2peak and FEV1 in lung cancer patients and reduce the incidence of postoperative atelectasis. However, HIIT may not reduce the incidence of postoperative arrhythmia, shorten the length of hospitalization, or improve the exercise performance of patients with lung cancer.

Abstract
Introduction Lung cancer has the highest rates of morbidity and mortality among all cancers. Patients with lung cancer inevitably confront psychosocial discomforts and progressively experience depression and anxiety that potentially impact the clinical outcomes [e.g., quality of life (QoL)]. These mental disorders in patients with lung cancer may effectively be alleviated with prescribed Chinese traditional mind-body exercises. This study aimed to determine the effect of the exercise prescription containing Chinese traditional mind-body exercise on QoL, depression, and anxiety in patients with lung cancer. Methods In this study, 52 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) recruited from the China-Japan Friendship Hospital were divided into two groups, namely, the experimental group (N = 26) and the control group (N = 26). The experimental group was treated with an 8-week exercise prescription containing aerobic and resistance training. The control group received the usual care during the study period. The QoL, depression, and anxiety were separately investigated using EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC QLQ-LC13, the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), and the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) at baseline and post-intervention. The scores of questionnaires were analyzed using the paired sample and independent sample t-tests to explore the intragroup and intergroup differences, respectively. Results The EORTC QLQ-C30 scores for physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, and global QoL in the experimental group at post-intervention were significantly higher than those at baseline. The EORTC QLQ-C30 scores for fatigue, pain, dyspnea, and insomnia in the experimental group at post-intervention were significantly lower than those at the baseline. The SDS scores (baseline: 57.74 ± 8.77 vs. post-intervention: 51.42 ± 7.31, p < 0.05) and the SAS scores (baseline: 56.63 ± 9.39 vs. post-intervention: 49.16 ± 7.83, p < 0.05) in the experimental group at post-intervention were significantly lower than those at baseline. Conclusions The 8-week exercise prescription containing moderate-intensity Baduanjin (5 days per week) can effectively alleviate QoL, depression, and anxiety in patients with NSCLC. Our exercise prescription is an effective supportive treatment for lung cancer patients with depression and anxiety. Clinical trial registration Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR1900025121).

The Effect of PD-1 Inhibitor Combined with Chemotherapy on the Level of Peripheral Blood T Lymphocytes among Patients with Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer and Its Relationship with Prognosis. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:1679191. [PMID: 36118825 PMCID: PMC9473904 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1679191] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2022] [Revised: 07/14/2022] [Accepted: 07/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Objective To explore the effect of combined treatment of PD-1 inhibitor and chemotherapy on the level of peripheral blood T lymphocytes in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and its relationship with prognosis. Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted on 150 NSCLC patients treated in Guangxi Medical University Affiliated Tumor Hospital from June 2018 to September 2020, including 77 patients treated with PD-1 inhibitor combined with chemotherapy as the observation group (OG) and 73 patients with chemotherapy alone as the control group (CG). Therapeutic efficacy, immune function indexes, serum tumor markers, incidence of adverse reactions during hospitalization, 1-year survival rate, and life quality after 6 months of treatment were observed and compared between two groups. Results Compared to the CG, the therapeutic effect of OG was evidently better. Six months after treatment, levels of CD4+/CD8+, NK cells, and CD4 + in two groups were elevated markedly, and indexes of OG were notably and comparatively higher than those in the other group. After treatment, OG was observed with a marked decline regarding levels of CYFRA21-1, CEA, and CA125 compared to those in the CG; and there was no notable difference in terms of adverse reaction occurrence between two groups, but the 1-year survival rate and 6-month life quality in OG over ranked those in CG. Conclusion For NSCLC patients, the PD-1 inhibitor given on the basis of chemotherapy can further improve the clinical efficacy and improve immune function and long-term survival rate of patients on the premise of ensuring the safety of treatment, which is worth promoting in clinical practice.

Abstract
It has long been evident that physical exercise reduces the risk of cancer and improves treatment efficacy in tumor patients, particularly in lung cancer (LC). Several molecular mechanisms have been reported, but the mechanisms related to microRNAs (miRNAs) are not well understood. MiRNAs modulated various basic biological processes by negatively regulating gene expression and can be transmitted between cells as signaling molecules. Recent studies have shown that miRNAs are actively released into the circulation during exercise, and are deeply involved in cancer pathology. Hence, the role of exercise intervention in LC treatment may be further understood by identifying miRNAs associated with LC and physical activity. Here, miRNAs expression datasets related to LC and exercise were collected to screen altered miRNAs. Further bioinformatic approaches were performed to analyze the value of the selected miRNAs. The results identified 42 marker miRNAs in LC, of which three core-miRNAs (has-miR-195, has-miR-26b, and has-miR-126) were co-regulated by exercise and cancer, mainly involved in cell cycle and immunity. Our study supports the idea that using exercise intervention as adjuvant therapy for LC patients. These core-miRNAs, which are down-regulated in cancer but elevated by exercise, may act as suppressors in LC and serve as non-invasive biomarkers for cancer prevention.

Effectiveness of Outpatient Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Patients with Surgically Resected Lung Cancer: A Retrospective Real-World Analysis. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14143479. [PMID: 35884540 PMCID: PMC9322504 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14143479] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2022] [Revised: 07/07/2022] [Accepted: 07/13/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Patients with lung cancer frequently suffer from physical deconditioning, low exercise capacity, and reduced quality of life. There is little evidence on the effects of a structured outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program (OPR) on exercise capacity and symptom load in these patients. We performed a retrospective, single-center analysis of surgically resected lung cancer patients, who underwent a multiprofessional 6-week OPR. The primary endpoint was a change in the six-minute walk test distance (6 MWT). Secondary endpoints included changes in maximal workload and constant work-rate test results during cycle-ergometry, upper and lower extremity strength, and inspiratory muscle strength. The COPD Assessment Test (CAT) was used to assess symptom burden. Fifty-seven patients were included. Of those, fifty-two (91.2%) completed the full 6 weeks of OPR. The mean age was 56.4 (SD 9.2) years, and 58% were female. At completion of OPR, there was a statistically significant mean of a 50 m (95% CI, 29.6−70.7; p < 0.001) increase in 6 MWT. Significant improvements were also seen in all other exercise and strength tests (p < 0.001), accompanied by a significant reduction in the CAT score (mean difference −3.1, p = 0.001). No adverse effects were reported. OPR for surgically resected lung cancer patients was safe and effective and showed high adherence in the current study.

Abstract
Among malignant tumors, lung cancer has the highest morbidity and mortality worldwide. Surgery is the first-line treatment for early-stage lung cancers, and has gradually advanced from conventional open-chest surgery to video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Additionally, increasingly smaller surgical incisions and less surgical trauma have resulted in reduced pulmonary function damage. Previous studies have found that the level of pulmonary function loss and recovery is significantly correlated with postoperative complications and the quality of life. Thus, an accurate assessment of the preoperative pulmonary function and effective rehabilitation of postoperative pulmonary function are highly important for patients undergoing lung surgery. In addition, pulmonary function assessment after pulmonary rehabilitation serves as an objective indicator of the postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation status and is crucial to facilitating pulmonary function recovery. Furthermore, a complete preoperative assessment and effective rehabilitation are especially critical in elderly patients with pulmonary tumors, poor basic physiological functions, comorbid lung diseases, and other underlying diseases. In this review, we summarize the clinical significance of pulmonary function assessment in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery, postoperative changes in pulmonary function, effective pulmonary function rehabilitation, and the influencing factors of pulmonary function rehabilitation.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most lethal cancer: it has a significant incidence and low survival rates. Lifestyle has an important influence on cancer onset and its progression, indeed environmental factors and smoke are involved in cancer establishment, and in lung cancer. Physical activity is a determinant in inhibiting or slowing lung cancer. Certainly, the inflammation is a major factor responsible for lung cancer establishment. In this scenario, regular physical activity can induce anti-inflammatory effects, reducing ROS production and stimulating immune cell system activity. On lung function, physical activity improves lung muscle strength, FEV1 and forced vital capacity. In lung cancer patients, it reduces dyspnea, fatigue and pain. Data in the literature has shown the effects of physical activity both in in vivo and in vitro studies, reporting that its anti-inflammatory action is determinant in the onset of human diseases such as lung cancer. It has a beneficial effect not only in the prevention of lung cancer, but also on treatment and prognosis. For these reasons, it is retained as an adjuvant in lung cancer treatment both for the administration and prognosis of this type of cancer. The purpose of this review is to analyze the role of physical activity in lung cancer and to recommend regular physical activity and lifestyle changes to prevent or treat this pathology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical role of perioperative respiratory muscle training (RMT), including inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and expiratory muscle training (EMT) in patients undergoing pulmonary surgery remains unclear up to now.
AIM To evaluate whether perioperative RMT is effective in improving postoperative outcomes such as the respiratory muscle strength and physical activity level of patients receiving lung surgery.
METHODS The PubMed, EMBASE (via OVID), Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) were systematically searched to obtain eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Primary outcome was postoperative respiratory muscle strength expressed as the maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP). Secondary outcomes were physical activity, exercise capacity, including the 6-min walking distance and peak oxygen consumption during the cardio-pulmonary exercise test, pulmonary function and the quality of life.
RESULTS Seven studies involving 240 participants were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. Among them, four studies focused on IMT and the other three studies focused on RMT, one of which included IMT, EMT and also combined RMT (IMT-EMT-RMT). Three studies applied the intervention postoperative, one study preoperative and the other three studies included both pre- and postoperative training. For primary outcomes, the pooled results indicated that perioperative RMT improved the postoperative MIP (mean = 8.13 cmH2O, 95%CI: 1.31 to 14.95, P = 0.02) and tended to increase MEP (mean = 13.51 cmH2O, 95%CI: -4.47 to 31.48, P = 0.14). For secondary outcomes, perioperative RMT enhanced postoperative physical activity significantly (P = 0.006) and a trend of improved postoperative pulmonary function was observed.
CONCLUSION Perioperative RMT enhanced postoperative respiratory muscle strength and physical activity level of patients receiving lung surgery. However, RCTs with large samples are needed to evaluate effects of perioperative RMT on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing lung surgery.

Abstract
Expression and functions of microRNAs (miRNAs) have been widely investigated in cancer treatment-induced complications and as a response to physical activity, respectively, but few studies focus on the application of miRNAs as biomarkers in exercise-based cancer rehabilitation. Research has shown that certain miRNA expression is altered substantially due to tissue damage caused by cancer treatment and chronic inflammation. MiRNAs are released from the damaged tissue and can be easily detected in blood plasma. Levels of the miRNA present in peripheral circulation can therefore be used to measure the extent of tissue damage. Moreover, damage to tissues such as cardiac and skeletal muscle significantly affects the individual's health-related fitness, which can be determined using physiologic functional assessments. These physiologic parameters are a measure of tissue health and function and can therefore be correlated with the levels of circulating miRNAs. In this paper, we reviewed miRNAs whose expression is altered during cancer treatment and may correlate to physiological, physical, and psychological changes that significantly impact the quality of life of cancer survivors and their role in response to physical activity. We aim to identify potential miRNAs that can not only be used for monitoring changes that occur in health-related fitness during cancer treatment but can also be used to evaluate response to exercise-based rehabilitation and monitor individual progress through the rehabilitation programme.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate whether postoperative exercise training is effective in improving clinical outcomes such as the quality of life (QoL), exercise capacity and respiratory function of patients receiving pulmonary resection. DATA SOURCES The PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and PEDro electronic databases were comprehensively searched to identify eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs). METHODS The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines were followed. The primary outcome was postoperative QoL and secondary outcomes were exercise capacity and respiratory function. RESULTS A total of eight studies involving 691 participants were enrolled in this systematic review and meta-analysis. For the postoperative QoL measured by 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), the pooled results demonstrated that postoperative exercise training could significantly improve the SF-36 physical domain score [weighted mean difference (WMD) = 5.87, 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.96 to 7.78, P<0.001] and SF-36 mental domain score (WMD = 8.15, 95% CI: 0.13 to 16.16, P = 0.05). The results of further analysis for the eight dimensions of SF-36 were similar to the overall results. However, for secondary outcomes, no significant effects of postoperative exercise training on exercise capacity and respiratory function were observed. CONCLUSION Postoperative exercise training could significantly improve the QoL of patients undergoing lung surgery. However, more RCTs with large samples are still needed to verify the effects of postoperative exercise rehabilitation on clinical outcomes of patients who receive pulmonary resection.

Abstract
[Purpose] With the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more articles have been published to
explore the role of physical therapy on COVID-19. In order to analyze the research
hotspots and the trends of physical therapy and COVID-19, we conducted bibliometric and
visual analysis. [Methods] Data were collected from the Science Citation Index Expanded
(SCI-EXPANDED) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) of the Web of Science Core
Collect (WoSCC) from 2019 to 2021. CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used to perform the visual
analysis of keywords and references to help quickly get key information. [Results] A total
of 466 publications were retrieved. Exercise, sedentary behavior, and mental health were
research hotspots. The relationship between exercise and immunity, as well as the
management of COVID-19 patients after discharge were the research trends. [Conclusion]
This study provided relevant information for future research. Findings suggested that
physical therapy is beneficial for suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients during
isolation. It is hoped that academic exchanges can be quickly established in the face of
infectious diseases. And in the future, we should focus on the rehabilitation of
discharged patients.

The Perspectives and Lived Experience of Postoperative Patients with Lung Cancer Participating in a Home-Based Exercise Intervention. Semin Oncol Nurs 2021; 38:151235.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Postoperative patients with lung cancer experience a cluster of symptoms and reduced quality of life. This study aimed to collect the pre- and postexercise intervention opinions of postoperative patients with lung cancer and to identify their perceptions of barriers, facilitators, and benefits of a home-based exercise intervention and its impact on their future exercise. DATA SOURCES Fourteen participants (aged 53 to 78) were purposively recruited from a tertiary hospital to participate in a 4-week home-based walking exercise intervention after discharge. Semi-structured, one-on-one interviews were conducted to collect data. The interviews were transcribed verbatim, and the data were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. Details regarding the exercise duration and intensity for each participant were collected using a sports watch app, and participants exercise diaries. CONCLUSION Three main themes emerged: (1) participants' differing opinions preintervention, (2) barriers and facilitators encountered during the exercise period, and (3) the positive impact on participants' future exercise. Other results showed that 12 of the 14 participants reached the goal of exercise duration and intensity. Postoperative patients with lung cancer need an exercise intervention to motivate and guide them to perform exercise after discharge. This study showed that a home-based walking exercise intervention was feasible and acceptable; patients perceived benefits and became more active and confident about their future exercise plans. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE Against the backdrop of inadequate staffing, insufficient funding, and lack of supervised exercise programs for this rapidly increasing population, this study of a nurse-led home-based exercise program provides a feasible and realistic approach and qualitative evidence to address these issues.

Abstract
Objectives: During perioperative, lung cancer (LC) patients are often left to experience debilitating disease-related symptoms, impaired physical activity and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and social difficulties, despite the progress achieved in terms of treatment efficacy. Nonpharmacological intervention, such as exercise, has been identified as an effective strategy in LC patients before and after lung resection. Therefore, we aimed to assess evidence of the effect of perioperative exercise among patients with LC. Materials and Methods: Seven databases were searched from January 1998 to September 2020. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the effect of exercise on the physical and psychological status of patients with LC during the perioperative period were reviewed. Two reviewers independently assessed the quality of all studies included here using the revised Cochrane risk of bias tool for RCTs. Results: Seventeen RCTs (1199 participants) published between 2011 and 2019 met for this literature review. The outcome measures that emerged from these studies included subjective outcomes, such as HRQoL, pain score, fatigue, and objective effects, such as cardiorespiratory fitness, pulmonary function, physical activity, and biological markers. Overall, these studies suggest that exercise should be an optimal option for LC; however, its efficacy and effectiveness regarding HRQoL should be investigated further. Conclusion: Perioperative exercise could be included in the rehabilitation program of patients with LC. More extensive, high-quality RCTs evidence is needed on the ideal exercise type, duration, intensity, and timing across the LC perioperative care.

Attention to principles of exercise training: an updated systematic review of randomized controlled trials in cancers other than breast and prostate. BMC Cancer 2021; 21:1179. [PMID: 34740332 PMCID: PMC8569988 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-021-08701-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2021] [Accepted: 08/16/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The primary objective of this systematic review was to update our previous review on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of exercise in cancers other than breast or prostate, evaluating: 1) the application of principles of exercise training within the exercise prescription; 2) reporting of the exercise prescription components (i.e., frequency, intensity, time, and type (FITT)); and 3) reporting of participant adherence to FITT. A secondary objective was to examine whether reporting of these interventions had improved over time. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and SPORTDiscus databases were searched from 2012 to 2020. Eligible studies were RCTs of at least 4 weeks of aerobic and/or resistance exercise that reported on physiological outcomes relating to exercise (e.g., aerobic capacity, muscular strength) in people with cancer other than breast or prostate. RESULTS Eighty-six new studies were identified in the updated search, for a total of 107 studies included in this review. The principle of specificity was applied by 91%, progression by 32%, overload by 46%, initial values by 72%, reversibility by 7% and diminishing returns by 5%. A significant increase in the percentage of studies that appropriately reported initial values (46 to 80%, p < 0.001) and progression (15 to 37%, p = 0.039) was found for studies published after 2011 compared to older studies. All four FITT prescription components were fully reported in the methods in 58% of all studies, which was higher than the proportion that fully reported adherence to the FITT prescription components in the results (7% of studies). Reporting of the FITT exercise prescription components and FITT adherence did not improve in studies published after 2011 compared to older studies. CONCLUSION Full reporting of exercise prescription and adherence still needs improvement within exercise oncology RCTs. Some aspects of exercise intervention reporting have improved since 2011, including the reporting of the principles of progression and initial values. Enhancing the reporting of exercise prescriptions, particularly FITT adherence, may provide better context for interpreting study results and improve research to practice translation.

High-intensity interval training effects in cardiorespiratory fitness of lung cancer survivors: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Support Care Cancer 2021; 30:3017-3027. [PMID: 34714414 DOI: 10.1007/s00520-021-06647-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2021] [Accepted: 10/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the exercise intervention focused on high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in lung cancer survivors. DESIGN We performed a literature search using PubMed, Web of Science, and Science Direct (last search March 2021). Quality assessment and risk of bias were assessed using the Downs and Black scale and the Cochrane tool. PARTICIPANTS A total of 305 patients of 8 studies were assessed, with their mean age ranging from 61 ± 6.3 to 66 ± 10 years in the exercise group and from 58.5 ± 8.2 to 68 ± 9 years in the control group. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and pilot randomized controlled trials was performed. We included controlled trials testing the effect of HIIT in lung cancer survivors versus the usual care provided to these patients. The data were pooled and a meta-analysis was completed for cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak). RESULTS We selected 8 studies, which included 305 patients with lung cancer: 6 studies were performed around surgical moment, one study during radiotherapy's treatment, and other during target therapy. After pooling the data, exercise capacity was included in the analysis. Results showed significant differences in favour to HIIT when compared to usual care in cardiorespiratory fitness (standard mean difference = 2.62; 95% confidence interval = 1.55, 3.68; p < 0.00001). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The findings indicated a beneficial effect of HIIT for improving cardiorespiratory fitness in lung cancer patients in early stages around oncological treatment moment. Nevertheless, this review has several limitations, the total number of studies was low, and the stage and subtype of lung cancer patients were heterogeneous that means that the conclusions of this review should be taken with caution. Review registration: PROSPERO Identifier: CRD42021231229.

Abstract
This case report characterizes the physiological responses to incremental cycling and determines the effects of 12 weeks of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on respiratory muscle strength, exercise capacity and dyspnea in a physically active 59-year-old female, four years after a left-sided extra-pleural pneumonectomy (EPP). On separate days, a symptom limited incremental exercise test and a constant work rate (CWR) test at 75% of peak work rate (WR) were completed, followed by 12 weeks of IMT and another CWR test. IMT consisted of two sessions of 30 repetitions twice daily for 5 days per week. Physiological and perceptual variables were measured throughout each exercise test. The participant had a total lung capacity that was 43% predicted post-EPP. A rapid and shallow breathing pattern was adopted throughout exercise, and the ratio of minute ventilation to carbon dioxide output was elevated for a given work rate. Oxygen uptake was 74%predicted and WR was 88%predicted. Following IMT, maximal inspiratory pressure improved by 36% (-27.1 cmH2O) and endurance time by 31s, with no observable changes in any submaximal or peak cardiorespiratory variables during exercise. The intensity and unpleasantness of dyspnea increased by 2 and 3 Borg 0-10 units, respectively, at the highest equivalent submaximal exercise time achieved on both tests. Despite having undergone a significant reduction in lung volume post-EPP, the participant achieved a relatively normal peak incremental WR, which may reflect a high level of physical conditioning. This case report also demonstrates that IMT can effectively increase respiratory muscle strength several years following EPP.

Abstract
Background: Pulmonary rehabilitation is one meaningful way of improving exercise tolerance and pulmonary function. Thus, it may reduce the postoperative complications and mortality of pulmonary resection. Hence, we refreshed the data and conducted this systemic analysis. Method: We searched Pubmed, Web of Science, and EMBASE using “lung OR pulmonary” AND “operation OR resection OR surgery” AND “rehabilitation or exercise.” The cut-off date was September 30, 2020. The publications were filtrated, and data were extracted from all selected studies by two reviewers. Review Manger 5.1 and the fixed or random regression model were used for calculating the pooled odds ratio (OR). Result: Finally, 13 publications were enrolled in this study. Among them, five publications reported mortality, nine reported postoperative complications, and seven reported postoperative pulmonary complications. The pooled OR of mortality was 1.32 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.54–3.23] for the pulmonary rehabilitation group, the pooled OR of postoperative complications was 0.62 (95% CI: 0.49–0.79) for the pulmonary rehabilitation group, and the pooled OR of postoperative pulmonary complications was 0.39 (95% CI: 0.27–0.56) for the pulmonary rehabilitation group. Subgroup analysis revealed the perioperative pulmonary rehabilitation was the most important part. Conclusion: Pulmonary rehabilitation may not affect the mortality of pulmonary resection patients, however, it could decrease the number of postoperative complications, especially pulmonary complications. Perioperative pulmonary rehabilitation was the most important part of the program.

Abstract
Surgical treatment affects health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and increases fatigue symptoms in patients with lung cancer (LC) and colorectal cancer (CRC). We aimed to systematically review the effect of exercise training on HRQoL and fatigue after LC and CRC surgery. Randomized controlled trials published before 21 March 2021, were searched in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus and PEDro. Eligible trials compared the effect of exercise interventions initiated preoperatively or in the first 3 months after surgery versus usual care on postoperative HRQoL and fatigue. Standardized mean differences (SMD) were pooled using random-effects models. Twelve studies with a total of 777 patients were included. In LC patients (10 studies, n = 651), exercise training in general led to a moderate improvement in the physical domain of HRQoL (0.68: 95% CI: [0.47; 0.89]) and a small reduction in fatigue levels after surgery (SMD = 0.28: 95% CI: [0.02; 0.53]), while no effects were found in other HRQoL domains. In CRC (two studies, n = 126), exercise training showed no effects on HRQoL and fatigue after surgery. Exercise training is an effective intervention to improve physical function and fatigue after LC surgery. Further studies are necessary to clarify the effects of exercise on HRQoL and fatigue after CRC surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Physiotherapy interventions can improve health outcomes for people across the cancer continuum yet little is known of the work-readiness and perceptions of physiotherapists working in cancer care. This study described perceptions of Australian physiotherapists. DESIGN Electronic, national cross-sectional survey. SETTING One hundred nineteen Australian hospitals and 35 rehabilitation programmes in July 2019 were invited. PARTICIPANTS Clinical physiotherapists responsible for the provision of cancer care. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Custom-designed survey targeted clinical knowledge, physiotherapy management, physical activity/exercise, and learning/preparedness. Relationships between domains and demographic characteristics eg: clinical experience and work setting, were analysed. RESULTS One hundred twenty eight surveys were completed. Median [IQR] experience was 8 [4 to 19] years (2 [0.5 to 5] years specifically in oncology). Most participants (99/128, 77%) felt poorly prepared to commence work in oncology. Confidence was consistently lower among physiotherapists in their first year compared to others. Confidence and knowledge was rated high for people with early stage cancers (median 4 [3 to 5]) and lower for prescribing exercise for patients with cardiotoxicity and knowledge of precautions/contraindications regarding hormone and targeted therapies (median 2 [1 to 3]). High importance ratings (Likert scores 4 or 5) were reported for exercise (115/127, 91%) and physical activity (120/126, 95%). Learning needs were identified for medical management, treatment side-effects/precautions and management of cancer-related pain and fatigue. CONCLUSION Australian physiotherapists feel underprepared to work in cancer care, but report good confidence and knowledge. Professional development opportunities appear indicated.

Abstract
PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION Improving quality of life (QOL) is a key issue for patients with lung cancer. Exercise interventions could positively affect patients' QOL; however, there is no clear-cut understanding of the role of exercise in improving QOL in patients with lung cancer. LITERATURE SEARCH The PubMed®, Embase®, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science electronic databases were searched from inception to September 6, 2019. DATA EVALUATION 16 randomized controlled trials met the inclusion criteria. A qualitative synthesis method was used to identify the effect of exercise interventions on QOL in patients with lung cancer. SYNTHESIS This review indicates that exercise interventions may have beneficial effects on the QOL of patients with lung cancer. The effectiveness seems to be affected by the duration of the intervention, as well as exercise frequency, intensity, and adherence. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Exercise interventions can be integrated into management plans for patients with lung cancer to improve their QOL. Healthcare providers should consider developing optimal exercise prescriptions to maximize the results for this population.

Abstract
The authors systematically reviewed and summarized exercise trials in persons with lung cancer on (a) attention to the principles of exercise training (specificity, progression, overload, initial values, reversibility, and diminishing returns); (b) methodological reporting of FITT (frequency, intensity, time, and type) components; and (c) reporting on participant adherence to prescribed FITT. Randomized controlled trials of exercise that reported on ≥1 physical fitness, physical function, or body composition outcome in persons with lung cancer were included. Of 20 trial arms, none incorporated all principles of exercise training. Specificity was included by 95%, progression by 45%, overload by 75%, and initial values by 80%, while one trial arm applied reversibility and diminishing returns. Fourteen interventions reported all FITT components; however, none reported adherence to each component. Including the principles of training and reporting FITT components will contribute to better understanding of the efficacy of exercise for persons with lung cancer and inform evidence-based exercise prescriptions.

Feasibility, tolerability, and effects of exercise-based prehabilitation after neoadjuvant therapy in esophagogastric cancer patients undergoing surgery: an interventional pilot study. Dis Esophagus 2021; 34:5906903.

Abstract
Patients requiring surgery for locally advanced esophagogastric cancer often require neoadjuvant therapy (NAT), which may have a detrimental impact on cardiorespiratory reserve. The aims of this study were to investigate the feasibility and tolerability of a 5-week preoperative high-intensity interval training program after NAT, and to assess the potential effects of the training protocol on exercise capacity, muscle function, and health-related quality of life (HRQL). We prospectively studied consecutive patients with resectable locally advanced esophageal and gastric cancer in whom NAT was planned (chemo- or chemoradiotherapy). Feasibility was assessed with the TELOS (Technological, Economics, Legal, Operational, and Scheduling) components, and data on exercise tolerability (attendance and occurrence of adverse or unexpected events). Exercise capacity was assessed with peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) in a cardiopulmonary exercise test at baseline, post-NAT, and following completion of a high-intensity interval exercise training (25 sessions). Changes in muscle strength and HRQL were also assessed. Of 33 recruited subjects (mean age 65 years), 17 received chemoradiotherapy and 16 chemotherapy. All the TELOS components were addressed before starting the intervention; from a total of 17 questions considered as relevant for a successful implementation, seven required specific actions to prevent potential concerns. Patients attended a mean of 19.4 (6.4) exercise sessions. The predefined level of attendance (≥15 sessions of scheduled sessions) was achieved in 27 out of 33 (81.8%) patients. Workload progression was adequate in 24 patients (72.7%). No major adverse events occurred. VO2peak decreased significantly between baseline and post-NAT (19.3 vs. 15.5 mL/Kg/min, P < 0.05). Exercise led to a significant improvement of VO2peak (15.5 vs. 19.6 mL/kg/min, P < 0.05). Exercise training was associated with clinically relevant improvements in some domains of HRQL, with the social and role function increasing by 10.5 and 11.6 points, respectively, and appetite loss and fatigue declining by 16 and 10.5, respectively. We conclude that a structured exercise training intervention is feasible and safe following NAT in patients with esophagogastric cancer, and it has positive effects to restore exercise capacity to baseline levels within 5 weeks with some improvements in HRQL.

Abstract
Background Exercise has a positive impact on patients with osteosarcoma, improving function, reducing disability, maintaining independence and quality of life. Exercise may also directly affect the effectiveness of cancer treatment. Cell division cycle-associated protein 4 (CDCA4) is reported to function importantly during numerous human cancers development. Nevertheless, the details toward CDCA4 function are still to be investigated. Methods This study comprehensively analyzed the GSE74194 database and obtained aerobic exercise-related genes. Protein-protein interaction network (PPI) and Gene Ontology (GO) analysis were performed on the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and tumor genome atlas (TCGA) data mining were applied to measure aerobic exercise-related gene CDCA4 level in osteosarcoma tissue. We conducted lots of functional experiments to uncover CDCA4 function and its corresponding mechanism in osteosarcoma. Results We screened a total of 547 DEGs related to aerobic exercise, of which 373 were up-regulated and 174 were down-regulated. PPI analysis revealed 90 genes that might play key roles. GO analysis showed that aerobic exercise-related DEGs were significantly enriched during the mitotic cell cycle, cell division, mitotic nuclear division and sister chromatid segregation, nuclear division, microtubule cytoskeleton organization involved protein, microtubule-based process, spindle organization, G2/M transition of mitotic cell cycle. Our results indicated that CDCA4 was increased in osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines, and its level had association with high mortality of osteosarcoma patients. Further studies revealed that absence of CDCA4 largely hindered osteosarcoma cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. Conclusion Comprehensive bioinformatics analysis improves our understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms of aerobic exercise on osteosarcoma. This provides evidence for the effect of aerobic exercise on CDCA4 expression. Our data suggested that CDCA4 could facilitate osteosarcoma development, and gave a hint that CDCA4 was a candidate target in the treatment of osteosarcoma, aerobic exercise might help the treatment and prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quality of life has multiple aspects, but little is known about the effects of exercise on each domain of it. This systematic review aimed to determine the effects of aerobic, resistance, and mixed exercise on multiple aspects of quality of life in patients with cancer through a meta-analysis. METHODS Randomized controlled trials with quality of life were collected, and 20 studies were analyzed. Subgroup analyses were performed according to exercise types. RESULTS Exercise improved global, physical, role, and emotional quality of life, but not cognitive and social quality of life. Aerobic, resistance, and mixed exercises improved global, physical, role, emotional, and social quality of life; global, physical and role quality of life; and only physical quality of life, respectively. CONCLUSION According to exercise type, aerobic and resistance exercises improved global, physical, and role quality of life, whereas aerobic exercise only improved emotional quality of life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the postoperative outcomes of inspiratory muscle training and aerobic exercise, along with standard care, on lung cancer patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). DESIGN A parallel-group, single-blind randomized clinical trial. SETTING Thoracic surgery ward and outpatient clinic in a teaching hospital. SUBJECTS Overall 63 patients underwent VATS were randomly assigned to a triaging (TG, n = 32) or control group (CG, n = 31). A total of 54 patients (TG, n = 26; CG, n = 28) completed the study. INTERVENTION TG: six-week threshold inspiratory muscle training and aerobic exercise. CG: standard care. MAIN MEASURES Maximum inspiratory pressure (PImax), maximum expiratory pressure (PEmax) lung expansion volume, and 6-min walking test (6MWT) were performed on the day of chest tube removal (baseline), and 2, 6, and 12 weeks postoperatively. RESULTS The TG showed significant improvement in PImax at week 6 (71.6 ± 34.9 vs. 94.3 ± 32.8 cmH2O, P = 0.018), PEmax at week 2 (70.9 ± 24.3 vs. 90.9 ± 28.2 cmH2O, P = 0.015) and week 12 (76.1 ± 20.2 vs. 98.6 ± 35.3 cmH2O, P = 0.012), the lung expansion volume at week 2 (1080 ± 433 vs 1457 ± 624 mL, P = 0.02) and week 12 (1200 ± 387 vs 1885 ± 678 mL, P < 0.001), in addition to the 6MWT at week 2 (332 ± 78 vs 412 ± 74 m, P = 0.002), week 6 (360 ± 70 vs 419 ± 60 m, P = 0.007) and week 12 (360 ± 58 vs 402 ± 65 m, P = 0.036). CONCLUSION A six weeks of inspiratory muscle training and aerobic exercise had improved respiratory muscle strength and aerobic exercise postoperatively in lung cancer patients after VATS as early as 2 weeks.

Abstract
Lung cancer patients undergoing surgery are often left physically deconditioned and/or with functional deficits. Exercise interventions may improve pulmonary and physical function before and after lung resection. We conducted a systematic review of randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) testing the impact of pre-, post-, and combined pre-and-post surgery exercise interventions on physical and pulmonary function in lung cancer patients. Exercise pre-surgery seems to substantially improve physical and pulmonary function, which are factors associated with improved ability to undergo surgery while reducing post-surgery complications. Evidence is inconsistent for post-surgery interventions, reporting no or moderate effects. Results from pre-and-post surgery interventions are limited to one study. In conclusion, pre- and post-surgery exercise interventions, individually, have shown beneficial effects for lung cancer patients undergoing surgery. The impact of interventions combining both pre- and post-surgery exercise programs remains unknown. More evidence is needed on the ideal exercise setting, and timing across the lung cancer care continuum.

Exercise for Individuals With Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Adverse Events, Feasibility, and Effectiveness. Semin Oncol Nurs 2020; 36:151076.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the safety (adverse events), feasibility (recruitment, retention, and adherence) and effectiveness of exercise among individuals with lung cancer. DATA SOURCES Electronic databases (CINAHL, Cochrane, Ebscohost, MEDLINE, Pubmed, ProQuest Health and Medical Complete, ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health Source, Science Direct, and SPORTDiscus) were searched for randomized, controlled, exercise trials involving individuals with lung cancer that were published prior to May 1, 2020. The PEDro scale was used to assess risk of bias, and the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events was used to classify adverse event severity. Feasibility was assessed by computing median (range) recruitment, retention, and exercise attendance rates. Meta-analyses were performed to evaluate adverse event risk between exercise and usual care, and effects on health outcomes. Subgroup effects for exercise mode, supervision, intervention duration, diagnosis or treatment-related factors, and trial quality were assessed. RESULTS Thirty-two trials (n=2109) involving interventions ranging between 1 and 20 weeks were included. Interventions comprised of aerobic (n=13, 41%), resistance (n=1, 3%), combined aerobic and resistance (n=16, 50%) and other exercise (n=2, 6%). There was no difference in the risk of an adverse event between exercise and usual care groups (exercise: n=64 events; usual care: n=61 events]; risk difference: -0.01 [91% CI = -0.02, 0.01]; P = .31). Median recruitment rate was 59% (9%-97%), retention rate was 86% (50%-100%), and adherence rate was 80% (44%-100%). Significant effects of exercise compared to usual care were observed for quality of life, aerobic fitness, upper-body strength, lower-body strength, anxiety, depression, forced expiratory volume, and sleep (standardized mean difference range=0.20-0.59). Subgroup analyses showed that safety, feasibility, and effect was similar irrespective of exercise characteristics, stage at diagnosis, treatment (surgery and chemotherapy), and trial quality. CONCLUSION For individuals with lung cancer (stages I-IV), the risk of an adverse event with exercise is low. Exercise can be feasibly undertaken post-diagnosis and leads to improvements in health-related outcomes. Together, these findings add weight behind the importance of integrating exercise into standard cancer care, including for this specific cancer type. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE Exercise should be considered as part of the treatment for all patients with lung cancer at any stage. Exercise has been shown to be low risk and can be feasibly undertaken by patients. The ideal mode, intensity, frequency, or duration of exercise for all patients with lung cancer is not known. Nonetheless, these findings support endorsement of cancer-specific physical activity guidelines, as well as referral to an exercise professional, such as an exercise physiologist or physiotherapist, for those diagnosed with lung cancer.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of Orff vocal therapy on BODE index and quality of life of patients with low lung function after non-small cell lung cancer surgery. Methods: From March 2014 to March 2019, 231 patients with NSCLC postoperative (their pulmonary functions FEV1 [Formula: see text] of the expected value) in the Huashan Hospital, Fudan University were selected and randomly divided into observation groups and control group. On the basis of conventional treatment of NSCLC, the control group used lung rehabilitation training, and the observation group used the Orff music therapy. They carry out vocal and breath training step by step, using a combination of online and offline methods, 1[Formula: see text]h per day online interactive training, 2[Formula: see text]h of offline group vocal therapy once a week, continuous intervention for 12 months. The patient’s BODE index and FACT-L scores were monthly follow-up. Results: Compared with the control group, the BODE index and FACT-L scores improved more significantly in the vocal therapy group ([Formula: see text]). Especially in the FEV1pred, family/society module and functional status module, the improvement was most significant, compared with the control group ([Formula: see text]). And the loss of follow-up rate in the vocal therapy group was lower than that in the lung rehabilitation group ([Formula: see text]). Conclusion: Orff vocal therapy can improve the BODE index and quality of life of patients with low lung function after non-small cell lung cancer surgery, and its compliance and intervention effects are better than ordinary lung rehabilitation training.

Abstract
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer‐related death worldwide. Affected patients frequently experience debilitating disease‐related symptoms, including dyspnea, cough, fatigue, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and pain, despite the progresses achieved in term of treatment efficacy. Physical activity and exercise are nonpharmacological interventions that have been shown to improve fatigue, quality of life, cardiorespiratory fitness, pulmonary function, muscle mass and strength, and psychological status in patients with lung cancer. Moreover, physical fitness levels, especially cardiorespiratory endurance and muscular strength, are demonstrated to be independent predictors of survival. Nevertheless, patients with lung cancer frequently present insufficient levels of physical activity and exercise, and these may contribute to quality of life impairment, reduction in functional capacity with skeletal muscle atrophy or weakness, and worsening of symptoms, particularly dyspnea. The molecular bases underlying the potential impact of exercise on the fitness and treatment outcome of patients with lung cancer are still elusive. Counteracting specific cancer cells’ acquired capabilities (hallmarks of cancer), together with preventing treatment‐induced adverse events, represent main candidate mechanisms. To date, the potential impact of physical activity and exercise in lung cancer remains to be fully appreciated, and no specific exercise guidelines for patients with lung cancer are available. In this article, we perform an in‐depth review of the evidence supporting physical activity and exercise in lung cancer and suggest that integrating this kind of intervention within the framework of a global, multidimensional approach, taking into account also nutritional and psychological aspects, might be the most effective strategy. Implications for Practice Although growing evidence supports the safety and efficacy of exercise in lung cancer, both after surgery and during and after medical treatments, most patients are insufficiently active or sedentary. Engaging in exercise programs is particularly arduous for patients with lung cancer, mainly because of a series of physical and psychosocial disease‐related barriers (including the smoking stigma). A continuous collaboration among oncologists and cancer exercise specialists is urgently needed in order to develop tailored programs based on patients’ needs, preferences, and physical and psychological status. In this regard, benefit of exercise appears to be potentially enhanced when administered as a multidimensional, comprehensive approach to patients’ well‐being. The potential effect of physical activity in lung cancer is not fully understood, and no specific exercise guidelines for lung cancer patients are available. This article reviews the evidence supporting physical activity and exercise in lung cancer and suggests that this type of intervention, along with considerations for the nutritional and psychological aspects of such an intervention, might be the most effective strategy.

Abstract
Preoperative physical exercise protocols prior to cancer surgery increased in popularity over recent years; however, the beneficial effect of such protocols is not well established, with conflicting results reported. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess the effects of different modalities or combinations of preoperative exercise interventions and/or prehabilitation multicomponent training in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after surgery on the outcomes related to functional capacity, mental wellness and medical care. We searched in OVID Embase, Pubmed, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Scopus, and Web of Science. Characteristics of studies and program results and outcome data were extracted. Changes between the intervention and control groups, from baseline to follow-up (standardized mean difference (SMD) or relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for each intervention was pooled using weighted random-effects models). A total of 676 participants from 10 RCTs were included in the final analysis (aerobic training + inspiratory muscle training, n = 5; aerobic training + strength training + inspiratory muscle training, n = 2; aerobic training + strength training, n = 1; multicomponent training, n = 1; aerobic training alone, n = 1). The results showed intervention-induced improvement in walking endurance (SMD = 0.27; 95% CI, 0.11 to 0.44; I2 = 0.0%), peak exercise capacity (SMD = 0.78; 95% CI, 0.35 to 1.21; I2 = 76.7%), dyspnoea (SMD = −0.30; 95% CI, −0.51 to −0.10; I2 = 0.0%), risk of hospitalization (SMD = −0.58; 95% CI, −0.97 to −0.20; I2 = 70.7%), and postoperative pulmonary complications (relative risk (RR) = 0.50; 95% CI, 0.39 to 0.66; I2 = 0.0%). For the functional capacity and medical care parameters, preoperative combined aerobic, resistance, and inspiratory muscle training was shown to be effective if comprising one to four weeks, performing 1–3 sessions per week, with moderate intensity (50% for endurance capacity). Further studies with larger samples and higher methodological quality are needed to clarify the potential benefits of preoperative exercise training for patients with NSCLC.
