Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

To determine the feasibility of examining physical activity (through objective measurement devices) and performance status in a 14-day study of lung cancer patients.

Time frame: 14 days

Secondary Outcomes

To determine the number of days of monitoring necessary to reliably estimate energy expenditure (steps/day, and % of time spent sedentary) in lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Time frame: 14 days
