Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: • Comorbidities that prevent participation in exercise intervention (e.g. CHD, Heart failure NYHA>3, orthopedic disorders, cerebral spasms, psychological diseases that do not allow intervention from the point of view of the study physician) • Upcoming, planned surgery in intervention period • Formation of metastases in the central nervous system or osseous with danger of stability • A medical or mental condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, does not permit the patient to participate in the study or to provide a legally valid signature on the informed consent form. • Presence of cognitive impairments of other causes (e.g. dementia, multiple sclerosis, condition after apoplexy/skull-brain trauma, condition after brain tumor) unwillingness to store and share personal medical data under the Protocol

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary measurement is the patients outcome in several neuropsychological tests as recommended by the ICCTF, The test battery will include the Trail Making Test (TMT: selective attention, set shifting), German versions of the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test Revised (HVLT-R: verbal learning and memory) and the Controlled Oral Word Association Test (COWAT/RWT: verbal fluency). In addition, a classical Go/No-go paradigm will be used to measure executive functioning subdomain response inhibition. Measurements will take place at three points (before first immunotherapy, shortly after intervention (week 13) and 6 months after the end of intervention.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Subjective perceived impairment of cognitive performance --> FACT-COG Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Cognitive Function ( Version 3) and FEDA questionnaire of Experienced Deficits of Attention Psychological stress of patients --> Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale Patients`fatigue --> Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory - 20 Items questionnaire Sleep Quality --> Pittsburgh Sleeping Quality Index (PSQI) Level of activity: Physical Activity Questionnaire (KAS, DSHS-Cologne) Performance Status --> Classification of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG Performance Status) Vocabulary intelligence test --> MWT-B Physical performance of patients --> spiroergometric performance The quality of life of patients --> EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaires Determination of immune status and periphere neurotrophic factors of patients --> analyse relevant blood parameters (BDNF, VEGF, IGF-1), blood serum pro. (TNF-a, CRP) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-10). The analysis will be realised by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). Measurements will take place at three points (before first immunotherapy, shortly after intervention (week 13) and 6 months after the end of intervention.
