Medical oncologist Dr. Michael B. Atkins describes how melanoma clinical trials can benefit both current and future patients. Today's treatments for melanoma were developed through melanoma clinical trial participants willing to help future patients. By joining a clinical trial patients may be able to access a new treatment before it's available to the public. Clinical trials can be a hopeful option for many patients at any stage of disease, so it is important to discuss all treatment options, including clinical trials, with your healthcare team.
