Exercise across the Lung Cancer Care Continuum: An Overview of Systematic Reviews.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Growing evidence supports exercise for people with lung cancer. This overview aimed to summarise exercise intervention efficacy and safety across the care continuum.

Methods

Eight databases (including Cochrane and Medline) were searched (inception-February 2022) for systematic reviews of RCTs/quasi-RCTs. Eligibility: population-adults with lung cancer; intervention: exercise (e.g., aerobic, resistance) +/- non-exercise (e.g., nutrition); comparator: usual care/non-exercise; primary outcomes: exercise capacity, physical function, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and post-operative complications. Duplicate, independent title/abstract and full-text screening, data extraction and quality ratings (AMSTAR-2) were completed.

Results

Thirty systematic reviews
