Lung cancer is the most frequently occurring deadly cancer disease worldwide. The best chance for cure is in the early stage of the disease,
when surgery and adjuvant treatment are the preferred option. More than 70% of patients with lung cancer are inoperable at the time of diagnosis.
The survival rate for patients with lung cancer is generally 16-20% after 5 years.
Patients with lung cancer deteriorate physiologically and psychologically throughout the course of the disease due to symptoms, co-morbidity,
and side effects from treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy).
This masterclass will summarize the rationale and evidence on prehabilitation, exercise during and after treatment for patients with lung cancer
and give a practical insight in how to design exercise for this group of patients.
The presenter of this masterclass is Morten Quist, PhD, research physiotherapist at the University Hospital of Copenhagen, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark. Morten has a lot of expertise in exercise for patients with lung cancer. He is the cofounder of the ‘Body and Cancer’ program and founder of the EXHALE program. He is lecturer at the University of Copenhagen. Morten received his PhD from The University of Copenhagen in 2015, on the topic of Exercise and Advanced Stage Lung Cancer; and a master in Health Research from The University of Copenhagen in 2011.
