Welcome to eCancerTrials.com National Clinical Trials Database. When you or a loved one are diagnosed with cancer, it is important to know every treatment option available in order to receive the most complete care. This may include clinical trials, which are research studies designed to evaluate new cancer prevention and treatment options. Clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of new or modified treatments in cancer patients using new drugs, unique approaches to surgery and radiation therapy, or various combinations of treatments.

It is the opinion of many medical professionals that if you have cancer you should at least consider participating in a clinical trial along with all your other treatment options. Treatment options provided through clinical trials may not be available any other way. Therefore, if you are not evaluating potential treatments accessible through the clinical trials process alongside current standard therapies; you're simply making a decision without weighing all of your available options.

There is currently no single source of all clinical trials and the clinical trials listed on this site represent one source of clinical trial information. For additional trials, patients may visit NCI's Web site at www.cancer.gov.
