Register to Attend Online (Free)
It is a very exciting time scientifically. Our understanding of the genetic drivers of cancer is improving and more personalized treatments are being discovered.
But these advances are not reaching most patients.
Even though there are over 13,000 clinical trials for cancer available, most patients will only be offered standard treatments.
Many cancer patients should be looking to clinical trials earlier than they realize.
In this webinar, we’ll discuss how clinical trials work in cancer and what cancer patients need to know.
Dr. Sager has lead drug development teams. He has a deep understanding of running clinical trials for cancer not only as a researcher and clinician, but also as a patient advocate.
