INCA RESEARCH COMM AN UPDATE FROM OUR CANC The INCA (International Neuroendocrine Cancer Alliance) Research Committee met again earlier this month. Kate Quirk, our patient support co-ordinator, attends to represent Neuroendocrine Cancer UK and reported that great progress is being made fine-tuning the new Ancora AI Clinical Trials tool for patients: https://www.ancora.ai , with better information on trials matching, and updates on expanded access for radiopharmaceuticals trials (ie PRRT/RLT).
Three new research videos by Dr Pamela Kunz, Dr Jaydira Rivero and Dr Enrique Grande have also been added to both our website and INCA’s here: https://www.neuroendocrinecancer.org.uk/research/ or simply click on the videos to watch straight from this newsletter.
Clinical trials Clinical trials are used to find out if new treatments and techniques are safer and more effective than the ones that already exist or discovering if existing treatments can be used in different ways. Without trials we really cannot make progress. You may be offered the choice to take part in a clinical trial as part of your treatment. Before you decide if a clinical trial is right for you think about the pros and cons, ask questions and find out what it involves.
In the ‘Research, Clinical Trials’ guide we cover topics such as: • How Clinical Trials are Run • Join a Clinical Trial • Finding a Clinical Trial • How to use Clinical Trials databases • Clinical trials FAQs
