Summary

This study follows 1,500 people recently diagnosed with lung cancer to see if their diet, lifestyle, and emotional well-being are linked to how the disease progresses. Researchers will collect blood, urine, stool, and tumor samples to analyze biological markers, including gut bacteria. The goal is to understand how these factors might affect survival and recurrence, and to develop healthier lifestyle recommendations for patients.

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 successful, this could lead to personalized lifestyle and nutrition recommendations for lung cancer patients, potentially improving survival and quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may be influenced by many factors and may not apply to all patients.

Who is studied

Starting in February 2019, patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed lung cancer who received treatment and follow-up at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University were enrolled in this study. Clinical and demographic characteristics were extracted from the electronic medical record (EMR) system, lifestyle habits and related exposure data were collected using a validated Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), and high-quality follow-up was conducted on a regular basis.
