What this trial studies

This study focuses on patients diagnosed with stage IV non-small cell lung carcinoma who are receiving first-line treatment. Participants will undergo a comprehensive assessment that includes clinical exams, imaging, biological tests, and dietary consultations. If undernutrition is identified, patients will receive personalized dietary management tailored to their symptoms, treatment side effects, and social circumstances. Follow-up assessments will occur every 4 to 6 weeks until disease progression or other significant events occur.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 70 with stage IV non-small cell lung carcinoma receiving first-line treatment and fluent in French.

Not a fit: Patients requiring hospitalization for more than 48 hours or those with acute infections or significant psychiatric disorders may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve nutritional status and overall quality of life for patients with advanced lung cancer.

How similar studies have performed: While similar studies focusing on nutritional interventions in cancer patients have shown promise, this specific approach is novel in its integration of food preferences with dietary management.
