What are Clinical Trials?

Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation are the standard of care for cervical cancer; however, as new treatments emerge, they are tested through clinical trials.

Clinical trials are research studies that use human volunteers to test how well new medical approaches work in people with cancer or other diseases. Clinical trials are important options for all patients at all stages of their disease and treatment, including early stage, advanced cancers, and for those experiencing recurrence.

This research is important to the discovery of new and better therapies and medications. Through participation in a clinical trial, patients have the chance to receive the latest and most innovative medicines that experts think might hold promise for better outcomes.
