Summary

It is important for clinicians to maintain and support for exercise capacity and quality of life of lung cancer patients after radiation therapy, because radiation therapy also affect the lung function and general conditions of patients. The effect and safety of pulmonary rehabilitation is well-proven in various diseases. Because there is no standard treatment, the investigators will perform this study to clearly prove the effect of pulmonary rehabilitation in lung cancer patients receiving radiation therapy.

Conditions

  • Lung Neoplasm Malignant

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Pulmonary rehabilitation

Pulmonary rehabilitation runs for 60 minutes per session. The pulmonary rehabilitation program is based on a comprehensive approach, not simply providing regular exercise. And it includes patient education, active encouragement, and psychological support by investigators. Exercise is performed more than twice a week. Each session is performed for 60 minutes and includes breathing exercises, low to medium-intensity aerobic exercises, and muscle exercises under the guidance of a investigator. After radiation therapy is completed, investigators will recommend that patients perform pulmonary rehabilitation at home more than twice a week and for 60 minutes or more. The patients will record whether and when exercise is performed every day in the diary for pulmonary rehabilitation.
