- What are you trying to learn from the study?
- What do doctors know already about the cancer treatments being studied?
- What treatments and tests will I get during this clinical trial?
- Who will be in charge of my care during the study?
- What are the differences between what I would get on this treatment and the standard treatment you would recommend?
- What are the benefits and risks?
- How will this clinical trial affect my daily life?
- How long will the study last?
- What will I be asked to pay?
- How will I know if the study was successful?
