Treatment trials test
new treatments, new combinations of drugs, or new approaches
to surgery or radiation therapy.

approaches may include medicines, vitamins, vaccines,
minerals, or lifestyle changes.

Quality of Life trials (or Supportive
Care trials) explore ways to improve comfort and the
quality of life for individuals with a chronic illness. |
