The teleconference is sponsored by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation as part of its campaign to increase awareness of clinical trials. The Cancer Care, Inc. teleconference will provide an opportunity for people living with cancer to learn more about clinical trials, from potential benefits and issues to overall access to trials. Participants are encouraged to take what they learn from the teleconference and discuss it with their health care team. The NCI recently stepped up its efforts to help increase enrollment to clinical trials, which are critical to understanding cancer and evaluating potential treatments. Partial funding to print the NCI booklet and support for the upcoming conference were provided by Novartis.
Participation is free, and no phone charges apply.
