Clinical trials can play a crucial role in the management and treatment of stage 4 cancer.

Stage 4 cancer, also known as metastatic cancer, refers to cancer that has spread from its original site to distant organs or tissues in the body. While stage 4 cancer is generally considered incurable, clinical trials offer valuable opportunities for patients with metastatic disease to access new treatments, experimental therapies, and innovative approaches that may improve outcomes, prolong survival, and enhance quality of life.
