Finding the Right Clinical Trial after a Cancer Diagnosis
Once you’ve received a cancer diagnosis, you’ll be looking at all treatment options to find what is the best cancer treatment for you. One option to consider is participating in a clinical trial. Depending on your specific situation, this can be a difficult choice to make. Some patients choose this route simply because it’s the best option they have available, while others make this decision because they know it could benefit other cancer patients in the future. If you choose to participate in a clinical trial, the next step is finding the best medical trial for your condition.
Learning About Clinical Trials
There are a variety of ways you can find out about clinical trials available in your area. Your doctor can recommend some for you to consider, or you can begin researching on your own. The first step when researching is finding a clinical trial list. These lists contain:
- Available studies
- Descriptions of each study
- Criteria to participate
