With perpetual research, management refinement, and increasing survivorship, cancer care is steadily evolving into a chronic disease model. Rehabilitation physicians are quite accustomed to managing chronic conditions, yet, cancer rehabilitation remains unexplored. Palliative care physicians, along with rehabilitationists, are true generalists, who focus on the whole patient and their social context, in addition to the diseased organ system. This, together with palliative care's expertise in managing the panoply of troubling symptoms that beset patients with malignancy, makes them natural allies in the comprehensive management of this patient group from the moment of diagnosis. This article will explore the under-recognized and underused parallels and synergies between the two specialties as well as identifying potential challenges and areas for future growth.

“…Inclusion criteria included diagnosis of early stage disease of NSCLC, VATS lung resection and patients with FEV1 less than 60% preoperatively which gives a high risk of perioperative mortality and respiratory morbidity 25 -26 (figure1). The advantages of limited pulmonary resection are in part the ability to preserve a greater amount of lung volume and reducing the risk of physiological impairment after surgery 15 . In addition, preparation to intervention for all patients included optimization of the pharmacological treatment and smoking cessation.…”

“…Endoh et al demonstrated that PPCs in lung function is lower in subjects undergoing VATS compared with subjects treated with an open surgical approach 14 . Indeed, one of the advantages of limited pulmonary resection is in part the ability to preserve a greater amount of lung volume and reducing the risk of physiological impairment after surgery 15 . Improvements in early diagnosis and surgical techniques have increased post-surgery survival rates 9 .…”

“…[ 4 ] In patients with lung cancer, preoperative PR increases exercise capacity and reduces postoperative morbidity and mortality. [ 9 ] Although it is reported that the PR program implemented in the postoperative period increases physical performance and improves the QoL, the referral of patients in need of the PR unit is less than 25%. It is necessary to raise awareness among the pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons regarding the benefits of the PR program, which is a non-pharmacological and effective intervention.…”

Background: In this study, we aimed to examine the effectiveness of pulmonary rehabilitation applied after resection in patients with lung cancer. Methods: Between October 2017 and December 2019, a total of 66 patients (53 males, 13 females; median age: 65 years; range, 58 to 70 years) who underwent lung resection for non-small cell lung cancer and who were not administered any chemotherapy or radiotherapy regimen were included in the study. An eight-week comprehensive outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program was applied to half of the patients, while the other half received respiratory exercise training. After the intervention, the results of both groups were compared. Results: In the pulmonary rehabilitation group, forced vital capacity value (p=0.011), six-minute walking distance (p<0.001), and Short Form-36 physical function, mental health, vitality scores increased significantly, while all scores of St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire, dyspnea (p<0.001) and anxiety score (p=0.041) significantly decreased. In the group given breathing exercise training, only dyspnea (p=0.046) and St. George?s Respiratory Questionnaire symptom scores (p=0.038) were decreased. When the changes in the groups after pulmonary rehabilitation were compared, the decrease in dyspnea perception was significantly higher in the pulmonary rehabilitation group (p<0.001). Conclusion: Pulmonary rehabilitation program applied after lung resection in patients with non-small cell lung cancer reduces dyspnea and psychological symptoms, increases exercise capacity, and improves quality of life. It should be ensured that patients with lung cancer who have undergone lung resection are directed to the pulmonary rehabilitation program and benefit from this program.
