Monitoring health in head, neck, lung & rectal cancer
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is studying how a monitoring method (bioimpedance) works for people with head and neck, lung, or rectal cancer who are about to start standard treatment. It may help doctors track your health better during therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have head and neck, lung, or rectal cancer that is confirmed by a biopsy.
- You are a candidate for standard cancer therapy (like chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy).
- You are 18 years or older and able to be up and about for at least half of the day.
- Your kidneys, liver, and blood counts are working well enough (tests will check).
- You do not have another active cancer (except some very early skin cancers) or an infection needing IV antibiotics.
- You do not have severe fluid buildup (edema or ascites) that would affect body weight checks.

This study tests whether special nutritional support (called immunonutrition) helps patients with head and neck, lung, or rectal cancer who are receiving chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy. The goal is to see if it improves how well treatment works and how you feel during and after cancer care.
This study monitors how the heart and lungs respond to radiation therapy combined with immunotherapy for locally advanced lung cancer. It aims to learn how well patients tolerate treatment and to detect early signs of side effects.
This study collects blood and tumor tissue samples to analyze biological markers in patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma before starting immunotherapy. The goal is to better understand how these markers relate to treatment response.
This trial uses a smartphone app to track your symptoms during radiation treatment for head and neck cancer. It aims to help your care team catch problems early and improve your quality of life.
This study looks at whether careful monitoring (watch and wait) is a good option for people with rectal cancer who have already had certain treatments. It aims to see if this approach can help avoid major surgery.
This study tests whether monitoring your health at home during chemoradiation for esophageal cancer can improve care and outcomes. You'll measure things like temperature and symptoms, and share them with your care team.
