[Management before anatomical lung resections: prehabilitation and functional testing].

Objective assessment of respiratory and cardiovascular reserves is important for planning of total resections in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is one of the leading comorbidities in patients with newly diagnosed NSCLC. Noninvasive assessment of exercise tolerance (6-minute step test, stair test) combined with analysis of external respiratory function and diffusing capacity of lungs underlie basic testing before lung resections.

[Anatomical resection for non-small cell lung cancer: cardiopulmonary exercise testing in assessing the risk of respiratory complications].

Objective: To assess the role of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in examination of patients with high risk of respiratory complications in anatomical resections for non-small cell lung cancer.

Material And Methods: A non-randomized retrospective single-center study was devoted to immediate results of surgical treatment of patients with NSCLC between December 2020 and April 2021. Median age of patients was 65 (84; 30) years, male-to-female ratio - 129 (57%)/98 (43%).
