Exercise for the management of cancer-related fatigue in lung cancer: a systematic review.

The role of exercise in lung cancer is not clear.   This review found that exercise is beneficial and safe in lung cancer-related fatigue but the studies are small and, without any control group, lack clinically significant effect. Thus, exercises could be used in the management of cancer-related fatigue in lung cancer, in view of the available evidence in other cancer cohorts, with due caution.
