ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how psychological distress, which includes feelings like anxiety and depression, affects patients with lung cancer who are receiving treatment. Researchers want to understand if reducing this psychological distress can help improve the effectiveness of cancer therapies, such as immunotherapy and targeted therapy. By studying the connection between emotional well-being and treatment outcomes, the goal is to find ways to help patients manage their mental health during their cancer journey.

To join the trial, participants must be at least 18 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of lung cancer. They also need to be willing to sign a consent form to participate. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and those who take part will have the opportunity to contribute to important research that could lead to better care for future lung cancer patients. Overall, this study aims to improve both the mental and physical health of individuals facing this challenging diagnosis.
