When you are asked to take part in one, read the information you are given about the clinical trial.

Take it home, let your friends and family look at it, and only when you are happy to take part do so. Clinical trials are often offered to cancer patients by their doctors, as they think it is the best option. However, always read the clinical trial information and ask your doctor any questions you have about the trial – there is no such thing as a stupid question if you don’t know the answer. And remember, taking part in one is your decision, you don’t have to take part and if you decide not too, it wont affect any of your care.
