Expert Video - What is prehabilitation for lung cancer surgery and why is it important?
Dr. Shanda Blackmon, professor of thoracic surgery at The Lung Institute at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, discusses what prehabilitation for lung cancer surgery is and why it is important. She describes prehabilitation as taking all the necessary steps before surgery to get your lungs into the healthiest shape possible in order to achieve the best outcome from your surgery. This involves taking several weeks before your surgery to stop smoking to help your lungs heal, and learning to do different types of breathing, physical, and mental exercises that will assist you with getting through surgery and afterwards during your recovery.
