Beneficial Effect of Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Lung Cancer Patients Receiving Radiation Therapy

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.
