Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether exercise capacity and lung function changes after lung cancer resection surgery, and whether there are any predictors for these changes. Who is it for? You may be eligible for this study if you are an adult with lung cancer that is scheduled to undergo lung cancer resection surgery. Study details All participants in this study will undergo their lung resection surgery as part of their standard care. For this study participants will be asked to attend two sessions at an outpatient hospital clinic to undergo physical exercise and lung function testing and complete a scan. This session will take approximately 2.5 hours and will occur within two-four weeks prior to surgery and again 6 months after surgery. The tests undertaken will be lung function testing, walk testing, symptom questionnaires and a ventilation/perfusion SPECT scan. This study hopes to better understand changes in physical capacity and symptoms after lung cancer surgery and whether there are ways to predict those changes.
Interventions
People undergoing lung cancer surgery will complete two study visits (one pre-operatively, between two-four weeks prior to surgery, and the second six months post-operatively.)
At each study visit the participants will undergo lung function testing (spirometry, lung volumes, diffusion capacity and oscillometry) as well as incremental shuttle walk testing with portable cardiopulmonary exercise testing equipment insitu.
Additionally, during the first study visit, participants will have a V/Q S

Additionally, during the first study visit, participants will have a V/Q SPECT performed to calculate lung ventilation. Visit 1 will be in clinic for around 2.5 hours and Visit 2 will be in clinic and take around 1.5 hours.
