Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–74 with suspected or confirmed localized, operable NSCLC who will have surgery with or without perioperative systemic therapy and can complete electronic questionnaires.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without cognitive symptoms or with factors preventing participation may not experience measurable benefits.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
Researchers will follow adults with localized, operable NSCLC to detect when cognitive complaints begin and how they progress after treatment. They will use self-questionnaires and standard cognitive tests to measure memory, attention, and processing speed, and assess how mood, fatigue, social factors, and vulnerability influence these symptoms. The study also looks at how cancer treatment, disease burden, and psychosocial stressors relate to Cancer-Related Cognitive Impairment and quality of life. Baseline cognitive function will be recorded before treatment to compare against later results. Participants will complete electronic assessments via a home-ready platform and may contribute data from multiple time points.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the study could improve understanding of cognitive changes after NSCLC treatment and guide supportive care to preserve daily functioning and quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: Other cancer patients have shown Cancer-Related Cognitive Impairment in similar settings, but data in localized operable NSCLC are still emerging.
