Patients Unaware of Clinical Trials

This booklet from the National Cancer Institute explains what clinical
trials are, what to expect from a clinical trial, and the pros and cons
of participating in them.
Understanding
the Clinical Trial System
When and why should you consider getting into a clinical trial? This article
answers these questions and explains how the system works. From Steve
Dunn's CancerGuide.
Background Information
on Clinical Research
An informative page from Centerwatch about clinical trials, including
a good list of questions to ask about a trial you may be interested in.
Search the
NCI Clinical Trials Database (PDQ)
Search by cancer type, treatment type, and geographic location. Although
no database has all clinical trials in it, this is an excellent start.
Listing
of Industry-Sponsored Cancer Trials
From the Centerwatch site, this is a listing of industry-sponsored (as
opposed to government-sponsored) clinical trials. This is a listing of
cancer trials arranged by category.
Clinical Trial
Notification Service
Centerwatch has a service by which they will email you and let you know
of any trials you might be interested in as they come available.
Ecancertrials
Another good database for finding clinical trials. When you register they
will help you find appropriate trials.
European Organization
for Research and Treatment of Cancer
