COVER STORY
Clinical trials are an incredibly valuable tool for researchers and physicians as they continue to make headway in the battle against cancer. For patients, these trials are much more than desperate actions to try when nothing else is working. We?ll take a look at the stigma surrounding clinical trials and let you know about some that will soon be available locally.
