| Summary | This clinical trial tests two different physical therapy and relaxation interventions, one in-person and at-home called Resiliency and Operative Success for Adults Receiving Lung Cancer Surgery (ROAR-LCS) and one virtually called BeFitMe. These programs that take place before and after standard of care lung cancer surgery, called prehabilitation programs, promote resiliency and patient outcomes (operative success) for adults receiving lung cancer surgery. Lung cancers occur in the chest and often cause symptoms for patients. Poor physical performance and negative mood are two risk factors for a decline in functional status after surgery. Physical therapy and relaxation interventions (i.e. progressive muscle relaxation) are two such interventions that may improve physical and emotional reco |
