Clinical Trials
Why Care About Clinical Trials?
Clinical Trials save lives by leading to:
 Improved cancer care delivery and treatment
management.
 Prevention of specific cancers in healthy people who
are at high risk for cancer.
► Fewer
than 3% of adults with cancer participate in
clinical trials.
 Less than 5% of all eligible people with cancer
o Few over age 65
o Ethnically diverse populations
o Even fewer in many large prevention trials
► Many
people are:
 Unaware of the option of clinical trial
participation.
 Misinformed about the clinical trial process.
