Frequently Asked Questions
Deciding whether or not to participate in a clinical trial/study is a difficult decision to make. To assist you, we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions and answers that may provide you with the information you need to make this important decision. The information below has been borrowed from the National Institutes of Health's cancer.gov website.
What are some benefits of being part of a research study?
If you join a study that compares treatments, you will receive either:
• The best acceptable treatment for the kind of cancer you have (standard treatment)
• A new treatment that doctors hope will be better than the standard treatment
What doctors learn in studies also helps people who may get cancer in the future.
