Perspectives on Clinical Trials
Entering a clinical trial may be an option for many women and men with metastatic breast cancer. As you decide whether to enter a trial, you may want to hear multiple perspectives on clinical trials.
This month, we feature an overview of clinical trials as well as two webinars on metastatic clinical trials–one from the patients’ perspective and one from the oncologists’ perspective.
We also have included a video about the importance of research and clinical trials that features patient advocate Karen Durham. Karen died in March, a few months after the video was made. You can read more about her and her advocacy on the Komen website.
