As we approach the millennium, we have a long way to go in improving the cure rates for many cancers, especially lung, breast and prostate cancers. No one is satisfied that we should rest on our laurels and accept the current cure rates. The only way to make strides in cancer care is through research. Ultimately, that research results in clinical trials in human volunteers.
New treatments improve lives today because of the clinical trials of the past.
All advancements result from the partnership between devoted doctors and patient volunteers to improve existing treatments for cancer.
