Effect of Exercise Interventions on Quality of Life in Patients With Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer morbidity and mortality worldwide and represents close to one in five cancer deaths (Bray et al., 2018; Siegel et al., 2020). Compared with patients with other types of cancer, patients with lung cancer have been reported to experience more disease burden and symptom distress, as well as have poorer physical functioning and health-related quality of life (QOL) (Henshall et al., 2019; Hung et al., 2011; Ostroff et al., 2011; Paramanandam & Dunn, 2015).
