New treatments - Clinical trials
New treatments are always being tested in clinical trials and some women with endometrial cancer may want to consider participating in these research studies. These studies are meant to help improve current treatments or obtain information on new treatments for patients with cancer. When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment.
Clinical trials are taking place in many parts of the country. Information about ongoing clinical trials is available from the Web site of the National Cancer Institute. You can also read more about factors to weigh when considering volunteering for a clinical trial in the usnews.com clinical trials module.
