Can your diet and gut bacteria influence lung cancer survival?
NCT ID NCT07779005
First seen Aug 21, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026
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.
