Cancer specialists regularly conduct studies to test new treatments. These studies are called clinical trials. Princeton Radiation Oncology is leading the way when it comes to revolutionizing cancer treatment by enhancing access to various cancer clinical trials, including studies of new treatments for breast, colorectal, prostate, and lung cancer. These studies provide patients with the opportunity to access promising treatments that are not available outside of the clinical trial setting.
Participation in a clinical trial is completely voluntary and a patient can leave a trial at any time. Only you can make the decision about whether or not to participate in a clinical trial. Before making your decision, it is important to learn as much as possible about your cancer and the clinical trials available to you. Your radiation oncologist can answer any questions that you may have about the risks and benefits of clinical trials.
