Cancer-related fatigue is a common, persistent and disabling side-effect of the cancer and its treatments. Exercise, once was contraindicated, is now the key non-pharmacological management for cancer-related fatigue. However, the role of exercise in lung cancer cohort is not clear. A computerised database search was undertaken using keyword search in the CENTRAL, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, AMED and Web of Science. Ten relevant articles were reviewed; the evidence on this cohort was found to be limited, warrants further research. However, the available evidence from other than lung cancer groups shows significant beneficial effects of exercises on cancer-related fatigue. Hence, exercises could possibly be used in the management of cancer-related fatigue in this cohort with due caution until more robust evidences are available.
癌症相关疲劳是癌症及其治疗常见、持续且致残的副作用。运动曾被视为禁忌，如今却是癌症相关疲劳的关键非药物管理方法。然而，运动在肺癌患者群体中的作用尚不清楚。通过在CENTRAL、PubMed、EMBASE、CINAHL、SPORTDiscus、AMED和Web of Science中使用关键词搜索进行了计算机化数据库检索。对十篇相关文章进行了综述；发现关于该患者群体的证据有限，需要进一步研究。然而，来自肺癌群体以外的现有证据表明运动对癌症相关疲劳有显著益处。因此，在有更确凿证据之前，谨慎起见，运动有可能用于该患者群体癌症相关疲劳的管理。
