Effect of exercise for patients with advanced lung cancer and cancer-related fatigue: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a significant burden for patients with advanced lung cancer. While exercise is recommended for managing CRF during pre- and active treatment phases, evidence supporting its efficacy in advanced stage remains limited. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to quantify the effects of exercise on CRF and its common complications in patients with advanced lung cancer.

Methods

A systematic search of 4 databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science) was conducted up to July 10, 2024 to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Studies were selected based on predefined eligibility criteria, including adult patients with advanced lung cancer reporting fatigue as an outcome. Study selection followed Preferred Re
