Diagnosis and treatment decisions
Pathology, staging, imaging, molecular testing and overall physical condition help clarify treatment goals and unanswered questions.
CANCER CARE PATHWAY
Lung cancer: treatment and rehabilitation
Lung cancer care often continues beyond tumor-directed treatment. After surgery or systemic therapy, patients may also face reduced stamina, breathing difficulties, appetite changes, sleep problems and limits in daily activity. Our pathway considers cancer care and functional recovery together through multidisciplinary assessment.
CARE JOURNEY
Priorities change across the treatment journey
The questions that matter after diagnosis, during treatment and during recovery are not the same.
During surgery or systemic treatment
Breathing, fatigue, appetite, pain, sleep and activity can affect recovery and deserve attention alongside cancer treatment.
After treatment or surgery
Breathing, endurance, physical capacity and daily activity can be reassessed while remaining connected to follow-up and ongoing oncology care.

PATIENT QUESTIONS
Common questions
When can rehabilitation be assessed after lung cancer surgery?
Rehabilitation needs can be discussed once the medical team considers the patient clinically stable. Timing and content depend on surgical recovery, breathing status, complications and planned cancer treatment.
Can I be assessed if I received treatment at another hospital?
Yes. Bring pathology, imaging, treatment records and current medicines so the team can review both the existing plan and current functional concerns.
