If your doctor does not mention a clinical trial as an option for you, ask about the possibility and if it could be right for you. Cancer fighting drugs are only available because they were thoroughly tested beforehand. These tests are known as clinical trials. They are research studies designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of new drugs and therapies. They have led to remarkable successes in recent years improving the survival rates of many cancers! Those who participate in clinical trials play an active roll in their own health care and play a valuable roll in cancer research.”
