| Abstract: | Engaging in exercise or physical activity has been found to be safe and strongly recommended, as well as beneficial, in patients with lung cancer at any stage of the disease and its treatment. Factors that may affect the exercise tolerance or capacity and functional Independence in patients with lung cancer include prediagnosis fitness level, normal aging, comorbidities, tumor burden, cancer-related, and treatment-related side effects. Tailoring cancer rehabilitation and exercise programs for this population may alleviate some of the current barriers including low adherence and high dropout rates. Optimized clinical and research collaboration between oncologists, cancer rehabilitation physicians, and exercise specialists may aid in creating these programs while emphasizing on specific considerations related to lung cancer and its treatments. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
