Heart health may predict lung cancer treatment success
NCT ID NCT06277388
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the heart works during a 6-minute walk test in people with advanced lung cancer who are getting chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy. The goal is to see if heart measurements can help predict side effects and how well patients do over time. About 231 adults with untreated stage III non-small cell lung cancer are taking part.
