Brief summary: The aim of our study was to compare the daily living activities with a performance-based protocol in lung cancer patients and healthy controls.

Detailed description: Lung cancer is the abnormal proliferation of cells in the lung tissue and a mass in the lung. The primary symptoms of this health problem include cough, dyspnea, chest pain, hemoptysis and sputum. In addition to these symptoms, muscle strength, respiratory function and effort level are decreased.

Inadequate daily living activities in cancer patients are expressed.But studies evaluating the activities of daily living in patients with lung cancer are inadequate and patients are evaluated only using scales. For the measurement of functional status in daily living activities, these scales provide important information about the detection of symptoms and the progression of the disease. However, it is very difficult to determine the limitation of perceived difficulty in daily living activities with these scales. In addition, since these scales are a method of measurement, the objectivity is open to discussion. It is thought that a performance-based protocol will facilitate the detection of limitations and provide more objective findings. We think that the Londrina protocol fully reflects the activities of daily living and thus will give us an objective measurement.

This study will show us the problem and its cause in daily life activities in patients with lung cancer.
