New Video Series Helps Patients Understand Cancer Clinical Trials

ASCO April 15, 2011, Volume 2, Issue 6

Direct your patients to Cancer.Net, ASCO’s patient information website, where they will find the first two videos in a new series on clinical trials (www.cancer.net/videos). One describes the types of cancer clinical trials, and the other explains the process of informed consent. They can check back in May and June for the final two installments in the series, which address how clinical trials are reviewed to ensure safety and why patients should consider clinical trials as a treatment option. Other articles on the topic can be found at www.cancer.net/clinicaltrials. ■
