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

Studying radiotherapy's impact on immune systems in cancer patients.

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase N/A

This study looks at how radiotherapy, a treatment using high-energy rays to kill cancer cells, affects certain blood cells in patients with cancer. These cells include myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), T cells, and extramedullary erythroid precursor cells. The study will help understand how the numbers of these cells change before and after treatment and how these changes relate to how well the treatment works.

  • **Eligibility**: Adults over 18 with specific cancers, such as breast or lung cancer, who need radiotherapy.
  • **Commitment**: Must be willing and able to take blood tests.
  • **Exclusion**: People with mental illness, autoimmune diseases, or other serious health issues can't join.

This study aims to provide information to develop better cancer treatment plans. Participants will need to sign a consent form to join. Understanding these changes could lead to new ways to improve cancer treatment in the future.

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?
