Participation in clinical trials is the best way for the management of cancer

The growing burden of cancer as a global health problem is underscored by its rapidly increasing incidence. Well-conducted clinical trials are essential for successful oncology drug development, and consequent improvement in outcomes of the anti-neoplastic treatment. Without trials there is no other way by which the pharmaceutical industry can advance to improve disease management and the quality of life of a cancer patient. Enrollment of cancer patients into well designed clinical trials should be encouraged not only to advance science further but also for the improved care of the patient.
