Brief summary

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effect of a preoperative rehabilitation program at home in patients resected for lung cancer, comparing a control group (C group) receiving only chest physiotherapy and a rehabilitation group (R group) receiving both a training program at home and chest physiotherapy

Interventions

preoperative chest physiotherapy : 5 sessions per week during 3 weeks

OTHERpreoperative rehabilitation program

exercise training at home : 5 sessions per week during 3 weeks

Inclusion criteria

* Patients diagnosed for lung cancer (or highly suspicious for cancer tumor) eligible for resection surgery (lobectomy or pneumonectomy) * Age \> 18 years * Presence of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) stages 2-4 of Gold (forced expiratory volume (FEV )/ forced vital capacity (FVC) \<70%, FEV \<80% of predicted) and Exertional dyspnea stage MMRC (Medical Research Council) \> 1 * Patients must provide written consent * Member of social security scheme

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Hospital length of stay after resection for lung cancertime from the date of the surgery (Day 0) until the date of discharge (Day n) (assessed up to 56 days)the date of discharge will be the real day of discharge from surgery department or the day where the patient will be medically considered as outgoing

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
the number of complicationsduring the stay in the surgery department or the intensive care unit (up to 56 days)
peak oxygen consumptionevaluation N°1 : during the week before the first date of the intervention (week 1). evaluation N°2: during the week before the date of surgery (week 5)evaluation N°1 before intervention : during the week before the first date of the intervention (week 1) (intervention : preoperative chest physiotherapy +/- rehabilitation program will be realized on weeks 2, 3, and 4). evaluation N°2 after intervention and before surgery : during the week before the date of surgery (week 5)
6 minutes walking distanceevaluation N°1 : during the week before the first date of the intervention (week 1). evaluation N°2: during the week before the date of surgery (week 5)evaluation N°1 before intervention : during the week before the first date of the intervention (week 1) (intervention : preoperative chest physiotherapy +/- rehabilitation program will be realized on weeks 2, 3, and 4). evaluation N°2 after intervention and before surgery : during the week before the date of surgery (week 5)

maximal inspiratory and expiratory strengthevaluation N°1 : during the week before the first date of the intervention (week 1). evaluation N°2: during the week before the date of surgery (week 5)evaluation N°1 before intervention : during the week before the first date of the intervention (week 1) (intervention : preoperative chest physiotherapy +/- rehabilitation program will be realized on weeks 2, 3, and 4). evaluation N°2 after intervention and before surgery : during the week before the date of surgery (week 5)
real length of staybetween the first postoperative day (Day 1) and the real discharge date (up to 56 days)the real day of discharge from surgery department
