A New Clinical Trial in Italy: Does Supervised Exercise Improve Outcomes in Oncogene Addicted Lung Cancer?

For those diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, there is often the question of how lifestyle changes can improve the prognosis. A unique study in Italy called EXcellenT will measure how supervised exercise affects outcomes. Those who have a positive biomarker, like ALK, can participate if they are on their first or second tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Participants will be randomly divided into two groups, the experimental group and control group. The experimental group will be assigned a home-based exercise program that is directed and monitored by entries in a smartphone app.
