If you have recently been diagnosed with cancer, or if your cancer has returned or is not responding to treatment, you may want to consider being treated as part of a clinical trial.
A clinical trial is a patient-assisted research study designed to determine the safety and effectiveness of a new treatment. These studies are carried out only after researchers have found that the treatment was safe and effective in laboratory and animal studies. Researchers carefully track the health status of the individuals who enroll in their clinical studies. This follow up may continue for five or ten years, and sometimes even longer, in order to fully assess the impact of the new treatment.
Uniting Against Lung Cancer is working with EmergingMed and other partners in the lung cancer community to offer you a way to take action – a free, confidential, personalized service that helps you understand which lung cancer clinical trials may be an option for you.
