Abstract
AIM: Physical activity (PA) has been associated with an improvement in survival for individuals with cancer. However, little is known about the effect of postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation on PA after lobectomy in patients with lung cancer. The present study investigated the effect of outpatient rehabilitation on PA in patients with cancer after lung resection. METHODS: A total of 19 patients with lung cancer were recruited for this study and completed a preoperative rehabilitation program. One group of nine patients completed a postoperative outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program (rehabilitation) and another group of 10 patients did not (control), but were similarly followed up. Preoperative lung function, assessed by forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1 ), body mass index (BMI) and St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) score were not different between groups. PA was measured before and 2 months after surgery using a three-axis accelerometer for 5-6 days. PA level (PAL) was defined as total energy expenditure divided by basal metabolic rate. RESULTS: Preoperative PAL was not different between groups. However, postoperative versus preoperative PAL was significantly lower in the control versus the rehabilitation group (P < 0.01), and PAL decline was less for the rehabilitation versus the control group (P < 0.001). A subgroup analysis showed improvement in postoperative PAL in rehabilitation patients aged <75 years and older. CONCLUSIONS: Two months after lung resection surgery, patients had not recovered to the preoperative PAL. However, compared with the control group, there was an improvement in the postoperative PAL in patients, including older patients, who underwent outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation.
