Patient Education: Making Informed Choices about Standard Care and Clinical Trials

Hello North Texas,

Clinical Trials can be a mysterious medical term that people don’t really understand.  They are a very important part of medical advancement because they pave the way for new treatments and medications. Come and spend some time with Dr. Robert Collins, an LLS-funded researcher right here in North Texas, who is involved in conducting Clinical Trials at U.T. Southwestern and learn more about the process of finding the next step in treating and curing  cancer.

Your friend, 

Susan
