Prehabilitation in patients with lung cancer

Learn how introducing prehabilitation in all lung cancer patients could improve outcomes.1

White paper produced by an AstraZeneca sponsored steering committee; committee members received honoraria for their participation.

  • White paper summary
  • Interviews with the experts

Could your lung cancer patients receiving SACT benefit from prehabilitation?

Lung cancer is one of the most diagnosed cancers in the UK, and it has a profound impact on patients’ lives.2 Emerging evidence suggests that how we support patients before and during treatment could play an important role in patient treatment recovery and outcomes.3-6 


An expert panel discussed the evidence alongside first hand clinical experience for providing prehabilitation services to lung cancer patients as early in the diagnostic pathway as possible, to support better patient outcomes.1  

Explore the white paper findings to see how prehabilitation could transform outcomes for your patients:
