Clinical trials can help doctors learn about new cancer treatments that may be more effective than standard treatments. They can give you a better outcome and quality of life. Clinical trials often stem from medical research labs, where new drugs and treatments are developed and studied.

Participating in a clinical trial gives you access to promising new treatments. When you join a clinical trial, you gain:

• Access to treatment that is not yet widely available
• Guidance by leading experts in the field
• The ability to play an active role in your treatment
• The opportunity to contribute to medical knowledge that improves outcomes for others

Many clinical trials feature new treatments. In addition, there are also clinical trials for cancer prevention, screening, and quality of life, to support your cancer care.
