Women newly diagnosed with breast cancer may want to talk to their doctors about the possibility of getting in a clinical trial. This is a research study conducted with medical patients to test a new treatment. There are several advantages to being in a clinical trial, including that treatment and medications might be free. Another advantage is the strong possibility of getting an advanced kind of treatment years before it comes into general use.

Women who take part in clinical trials are assured of getting either the most modern, already proven treatment, or a treatment program that researchers believe may be even better.
