Over the past 40 years, breast cancer care has greatly improved due to information gained through clinical trials. Clinical trials test the safety and benefits of new treatments as well as new combinations of standard treatments. They can also study other aspects of care, including risk reduction, diagnosis and screening. Whether a new therapy or test becomes part of the standard of care for breast cancer depends largely on the results of clinical trials. Clinical trials offer people with breast cancer a way to receive high-quality care, a chance to gain access to new treatments before they're widely available, and a way to help others by contributing to medical research. Those who join clinical trials help further the knowledge base that ultimately helps improve breast cancer care. Today, we are joined by Sheila McGlown who will share a little about her experience participating in a clinical trial.
