Study Summary

This trial is studying the effects of a patient's mindset on cancer treatment outcomes.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English-speaking adults over 18 with a new diagnosis of lung, breast, GI/colorectal cancer or lymphoma and treatment aimed at curing it. They must be able to consent and undergo systemic treatment involving 4-12 infusions. Excluded are those with major health issues reducing life expectancy, active severe mental health diagnoses, pregnant/nursing women, HIV-positive individuals or previous cancer treatments.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests how mindsets affect health outcomes in cancer patients. It involves reflection activities designed to promote beneficial views about cancer and the body's role during recovery. Participants will be randomly assigned to either these mindset interventions or their usual care without the added activities.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on psychological interventions rather than medications, traditional side effects like those seen with drugs are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort when engaging in deep reflection about their illness.
