Mesothelioma clinical trials offer you the opportunity to receive the best healthcare available and to contribute to scientific evidence that will one day result in a mesothelioma cure.
You can choose to participate in a mesothelioma clinical trial and still work with your current healthcare team.
Some of the benefits you may derive from participating in a mesothelioma clinical trial include:
New treatments with mesothelioma drugs that may be more effective than the standard treatment
Mesothelioma doctors and nurses who will closely monitor your health status and watch very carefully for any side effects and changes in your condition while in the mesothelioma clinical trial
Part of your mesothelioma treatment may be free of charge
Satisfaction knowing that your involvement may ultimately help other people and result in mesothelioma cure
Knowing that, if one of the treatments being tested (either new or old) is apparently much better than the other, you will be switched to the better treatment
