Emotional distress link to tumor response in stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how emotional distress before treatment affects how well the tumor responds to chemotherapy and surgery in people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It may help understand if mental health impacts treatment outcomes.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at how medicines given around the time of stomach cancer surgery may change the “tumor microenvironment,” which is the biology around the tumor. It may help doctors better understand which perioperative treatments work best for locally advanced, operable stomach cancer.
This study looks at how sleep patterns affect how well immunotherapy and other pre-surgery treatments work for people with stomach cancer. If you are about to start treatment for locally advanced stomach cancer, this study could help doctors understand whether sleep quality influences treatment success.
This study looks at tissue samples from stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer to understand how the tumor interacts with its surroundings, which may help predict if the cancer will resist treatment. All participants will receive standard chemotherapy (FLOT) plus durvalumab before and after surgery.
This trial is looking at whether giving extra treatment after surgery for stomach cancer can help lower the chance of it coming back. It is for people who had a specific kind of chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery and then had their stomach removed.
This study looks at how stress and emotional distress can affect cancer patients' ability to stick with their treatment plan, their treatment results, and their overall quality of life. It aims to help doctors better understand and support patients.
This study looks at how psychological distress relates to immune checkpoint inhibitors in people with stomach cancer. It may help understand if emotional well-being affects treatment response.
