Clinical Trials

For many patients, standard chemotherapy regimens provide the best possibility of long-term survival. For others, however, less conventional treatment approaches are needed to offer new hope after chemotherapy has failed and to provide greater chances of long-term survival. These patients may choose to enroll in a clinical trial - a research protocol that can use new chemotherapeutic drugs or add a new drug to a standard regiment for improved outcomes.

Not only can clinical trials sometimes provide what proves to be a superior treatment, but others in the cancer-fighting community benefit from the information each study reveals.
