Cancer Detection and Treatment
Clinical Trials
Trillium Health Centre oncologists are involved in cancer research through the conduct of clinical trials. Participation in a clinical trial gives people with cancer access to the newest types of treatment.
Clinical trials are important because they add to the progress that is being made against cancer. They also answer important scientific questions which may lead to new and better treatment in the future.
Patients make their own decisions about participating in clinical trials after gathering information on the options, harms and benefits of the treatment offered. Talking with members of a health care team will assist in making an informed decision.
You can find more information on clinical trials here:
