Context: Treatment Option Overview
A treatment clinical trial is a research study meant to help improve current treatments or obtain information on new treatments for people with cancer. For some patients, taking part in a clinical trial may be an option. Because cancer in children is rare, taking part in a clinical trial should be considered.
