AI summary: who the study is looking for
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults with lung cancer who can have lung surgery (lobectomy, segmentectomy or wedge resection). It compares fitness after the two kinds of surgery.
- Age
- 18 years or older
- Sex
- All sexes can join.
- Disease stage
- Lung cancer (NSCLC) where lung surgery is planned and judged tolerable after heart and lung testing.
Main reasons for not taking part

- Original description
This observational study will compare changes in cardiorespiratory fitness after lobectomy and sublobar resection. Sublobar resection includes segmentectomy and wedge resection. Patients who can undergo pulmonary resection and meet the eligibility criteria will be studied during routine clinical care; the research will not assign the surgical procedure or add a study-specific intervention.Read full original descriptionShow less
Impact of Lobectomy Versus Sublobar Resection on Cardiorespiratory Fitness: An Observational Study Based on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing
This observational study will compare changes in cardiorespiratory fitness after lobectomy and sublobar resection. Sublobar resection includes segmentectomy and wedge resection. Patients who can undergo pulmonary resection and meet the eligibility criteria will be studied during routine clinical care; the research will not assign the surgical procedure or add a study-specific intervention.
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) and pulmonary function testing will be performed before surgery and at routine follow-up visits 6 and 12 months after surgery. Changes from the preoperative assessment will be compared within each surgical group and between the two groups. The study will also examine the relationship between CPET measurements and postoperative complications.
Inclusion: Able to understand the study and provide written informed consent. 2. Considered able to tolerate surgical treatment, including segmentectomy, lobectomy, or wedge resection, following preoperative assessment, including cardiac and pulmonary function testing; -.
Exclusion: A history of severe heart disease, heart failure, myocardial infarction, or an episode of angina within the previous 3 months; A cerebrovascular event, including cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage, within the previous 3 months; A psychiatric illness that prevents communication; Pregnant or breastfeeding; Any absolute contraindication to CPET; Unable to cooperate with the examinations. -.
