Researchers want to understand how psychological stress — the emotional and mental burden of having cancer — affects how well stomach cancer treatments work and how patients recover afterward. This is an observational study, meaning researchers will follow you through your existing cancer treatment and ask about your stress levels and emotional well-being at different time points. They're not testing a new drug, but rather trying to learn whether stress management might be an important part of cancer care.
Cancer is stressful, and some research suggests that emotional stress can influence how our bodies respond to treatment. This study aims to understand this connection so that doctors can better support patients emotionally during their cancer journey and potentially improve treatment outcomes.

You will continue with your regular stomach cancer treatment — which may include surgery, chemotherapy, and/or immunotherapy — as planned with your doctor. At different points during and after your treatment, researchers will ask you to complete questionnaires about your stress levels, emotional well-being, and quality of life. You may also be asked to share medical information about how your cancer is responding to treatment. The study will follow you over time to see if there are connections between your stress levels and how well your treatment works.
