Non Small Cell Lung Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between performance status rating and the actual amount of physical activity a subject does when it is measured by an activity monitor.

Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To determine the number of days of monitoring necessary to reliably estimate energy expenditure (steps/day, and % of time spent sedentary) in lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. | 14 days |
