NCT ID NCT07662070
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether emotional distress before treatment affects how well immunotherapy works in people with locally advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. Researchers will measure distress using questionnaires and track tumor response after surgery. The goal is to understand if mental state can influence physical treatment outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If emotional distress is linked to poorer treatment response, this could point toward integrating mental health support into cancer care to improve outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may show no clear link, or other factors could explain any associations found.
