An Observational Clinical Study Plan on the Effects of Radiotherapy on the Immune System of Patients With Malignant Tumors.

Recruiting
18 years and older

Phase N/A
  • Simplified (AI rewritten)
  • Technical (Original)

This study looks at how **radiotherapy** affects the **immune system** in patients with **malignant tumors**. Radiotherapy is a treatment using high-energy rays to kill cancer cells. The study examines changes in specific blood cells, such as **myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs)**, **T cells**, and **erythroid precursor cells**. These cells are important for the body's defense against diseases. Researchers will compare these cells before and after radiotherapy to understand how treatment affects them and its success in treating cancer.

  • **Participation**: Only adults over 18 with certain cancers are eligible. You must be ready to have blood tests.
  • **Duration**: The study involves monitoring before and after radiotherapy, which may take some time.
  • **Risks and Benefits**: Understanding how your immune system responds can help improve cancer treatments.

To join, you should not have other serious health issues or mental health conditions. By participating, you help researchers create better cancer treatment plans. 📊
