Physical behavior and associations with health outcomes in operable NSCLC patients: A prospective study

As expected, curative lung resection impacts physical behavior. Patients who were more active in the first month following surgery reported better health outcome six months postoperative. The large variability in activity patterns over time observed between patients, suggests that physical behavior 'profiling' through detailed monitoring of physical behavior could facilitate tailored goal setting in interventions that target change in physical behavior.
