Clinical Trials

Volunteering for a clinical trial is a contribution to the future of medicine that only you can make.

A clinical trial is a research study designed to test the safety and effectiveness of new treatments for cancer. Every cancer-fighting drug and therapy available to doctors today had to be tested in a clinical trial before it could be used routinely on patients.
