This study looks at whether psychological stress changes how well lung cancer treatments work and what the outlook is. You may qualify if you’re about to start (or recently started) certain immunotherapy-based treatments, and you can complete stress and well-being questionnaires.
This trial tests whether giving a combination of two immunotherapy drugs before surgery can lower the chance of liver cancer coming back in people who have high-risk features. It may help patients with early-stage liver cancer that can be removed surgically.
This study tests whether taking a specific probiotic (Lactobacillus reuteri) before surgery, along with standard immunotherapy, helps treat liver cancer better. You would take the probiotic daily, then have immunotherapy, and later potentially surgery to remove the tumor.
This study is looking at people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) that cannot be removed by surgery. Researchers want to see if certain markers in your blood or tumor can help predict how well you respond to a combination of chemotherapy delivered directly to the liver and immunotherapy. If you join, you will receive the planned treatment and provide additional blood and tissue samples for analysis.
This trial studies how emotional well-being affects how well immunotherapy works for liver cancer. It is for people newly diagnosed with liver cancer who have not yet been treated.
