ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how radiation therapy affects the environment around tumors in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer and pancreatic cancer. The study will collect various samples, like biopsies and blood, as well as treatment-related information before, during, and after patients receive standard radiation treatment. The goal is to better understand how these factors work together and how they might impact treatment outcomes.

To participate in this study, you need to be at least 18 years old and have been diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic cervical or pancreatic cancer, with plans to receive standard radiation therapy. You also should be in good enough health to manage the procedures involved. If you decide to join, you can expect to provide samples and information that will help researchers learn more about the effects of radiation on cancer. Importantly, this study is currently recruiting participants, so it’s a great time to consider joining if you meet the criteria.
