How to Find Metastatic Breast Cancer Clinical Trials
You’ve decided to look into clinical trials as part of your treatment plan but how do you find one, and how do you know if it’s right for you?
Searching for clinical trials can be daunting, but there are resources available to help you. One way to find a trial is to talk to your healthcare team. You can also search for trials online using a clinical trial matching service, which uses information about your diagnosis entered into an online form, to find trials that fit your profile. Metastatic Trial Search (MTS), a companion to Metastatic Trial Talk, is a matching service designed specifically for people with metastatic breast cancer. MTS was developed by BreastCancerTrials.org, in collaboration with five breast cancer advocacy groups. It is available on the websites of over 20 breast cancer organizations.
