"Patients in clinical trials receive better treatment."
- Dr. Oscar E. Streeter, M.D.
In the area of cancer-related clinical trials, this is accomplished by a number of steps
similar to other programs. Better treatment is achieved by reducing the incidence
and mortality of cancer, through community education, through screening and through
access to state-of-the-art therapy.
The Doctors of Choice website is dedicated to encouraging participation in clinical trials
rather than replicate the high quality clincial trial materials already available on the
internet. To this end, doctors are able to indicate their level of willingness to particpate
in clinical trials as they register for our site.
If participation in clinical trials is important to you as a patient or patient's
representative, you may include this in your search criteria. If you are a physician
and evaluating treatment options or would like to find another physician with clincial
trial experience to obtain more information, you may be able to find a specialists.
For a comprehensive look at Clinical Trials, see the U.S. government's National Institute
of Health's website of medical research information at
http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.
At this site, you can search trials and filter by a number of factors, browse by condition
or by sponsor, learn what's new, and obtain additional information including an excellent
introduction to Clinical Trials.
