A Guide to Clinical Trials for Cancer Patients


Clinical Trial Guide The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group has developed "A Guide to Clinical Trials for Cancer Patients" to inform patients and their families with an overview of clinical trials and to provide basic information about this treatment option. The brochure describes the various trials patients can participate in, suggests and lists important questions patients should ask their physician, and lists benefits and risks associated with participating in a trial.

If you would like to request copies for distribution, contact Donna Griggs, Communications Manager at 215-789-3636 or dgriggs@ecogchair.org. Or, you can download and print copies from the link below.
