Should I join a clinical trial?

Your health care professional or nurse may advocate you take part in a scientific trial. Doctors run clinical trials to test new or modified cures and methods of diagnosing disease to look if they're higher than present ways. For illustration, in case you join a randomised trial for a brand new medication, you're going to be chosen at random to receive both the best present cure or the modified new cure. Over time, trials have improved therapies

and led to higher effects for men and women diagnosed with melanoma.

You can also find it invaluable to speak to your expert, scientific trials nurse or GP, or to get a second opinion. In case you decide to take part in a scientific trial, you can withdraw at any time.
