ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how a personalized exercise program can help patients with lung cancer. Many patients in this group tend to be less active and feel very tired. The study will compare the usual care patients receive with a special exercise program designed just for them. The goal is to see if this program can help increase their physical activity, reduce how much time they spend sitting, and lessen their feelings of fatigue.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 18 and 70 years old and diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer, which is a type of lung cancer. You should be able to understand and respond to questions in Spanish and be willing to sign a consent form agreeing to take part in the study. However, if you have a life expectancy of less than six months, are very active already, or have certain health issues that prevent you from exercising, you may not be eligible. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to offer support to those who qualify and improve their overall well-being.
