Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older diagnosed with stage I to IV NSCLC or SCLC who can provide informed consent.

Probably not a fit

What this trial studies

This study investigates cognitive impairment related to cancer and its treatment in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). It aims to assess the presence of cognitive deficits during the first year after enrollment using comprehensive neuropsychological assessments. The study focuses on understanding how lung cancer and its therapies may affect cognitive function over time.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to better management strategies for cognitive impairment in lung cancer patients.

How similar studies have gone: While cognitive impairment in cancer patients has been studied, this specific focus on lung cancer and its treatments is relatively novel.
