New treatment option for Lung Cancer
Official title The Thoracic Peri-Operative Integrative Surgical Care Evaluation Trial - Stage III
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04871412
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Despite enormous advances in thoracic surgery and oncology, two critical issues concern patients undergoing curative-intent surgery for lung, gastric and esophageal cancer: first, a majority (\~60%) of patients experience minor and major adverse events occurring during and in the days following surgery; second, patients worry about the significant risk of cancer recurrence and mortality months to years after surgery. These issues, combined with side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, have detrimental effects on health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
