Finding & Participating in Clinical Trials on Breast Cancer Diagnosis  

How can I find and participate in a clinical trial on diagnosis of breast cancer?




To find a clinical trial (i.e., clinical study) on breast cancer diagnosis that you can participate in, you can:

• Contact your physician

• Search the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) online database of clinical trials (www.cancer.gov/search/clinical trials/) on cancer that are being conducted in the United States

• Call the toll-free number of the National Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237) to help you find a clinical trial on cancer in NCI's online database at the website address listed above

• Search the National Institutes of Health’s online database (http://clinicaltrials.gov) of clinical trials on various illnesses that currently are being studied in the United States

Be aware that each clinical trial on breast cancer diagnosis has its own guidelines to determine whether a particular individual has an appropriate condition and medical history suitable for participation in the specific trial.
