The primary outcome was functional capacity in patients with lung cancer, as measured by the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), 1 week preoperatively and 1 month postoperatively. The 6MWT is a standardised test used to predict the prognosis of functional capacity in adult and geriatric patients with cancer [The secondary outcome measures were lung function parameters, PPCs, drainage tube removal time, and postoperative hospital stay in patients with lung cancer. Currently, lung function evaluation in clinical practice comprises forced vital capacity (FVC) and FEV1 [
