Clinical Trials
Participating in clinical trials can extend patients’ lives and may in some cases, provide life-saving treatments and procedures. For many types of cancers, clinical trials may offer the best hope for a positive and life-extending prognosis.
Even when that is not possible, participating in a clinical trial can give patients the assurance that they are helping the next generation of cancer patients to receive treatment. The biggest value of clinical trials is the contribution those trials make to future treatments and procedures, often offering future patients a chance at extended life, or even a cure.
