Maximal exercise capacity pulmonary function and fatigue in lung cancer patients with complete remission

Both cardiac and pulmonary outcomes measured during CPET are adversely affected. Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation is essential for LC to optimize exercise capacity, pulmonary function and fatigue.
