By participating in a clinical trial you may:

• Receive innovative treatment that may become standard therapy in the future
• Gain access to experimental drugs or procedures when standard therapies are no longer effective
• Contribute to medical research that may benefit future generations

If you participate in a clinical trial, you will receive either the standard of care—the most effective known treatment available—or a promising, experimental treatment.You may personally benefit if the experimental treatment is found to be better than the current standard of care. But it’s also possible that the new treatment may not be better than the standard of care. Or, the researchers may find that only select groups of people benefit from the new treatment, and you may, or may not, be one of those people. What you will get is quality care and an opportunity to contribute to and advance breast cancer research.
