Can clinical trials offer effective non-small cell lung cancer treatment?

Clinical trials are used to study the results of new, experimental non-small cell lung cancer treatments. Many people choose to undergo clinical trials as part of non-small cell lung cancer treatment, either because they lack treatment options or treatment has been ineffective. While participating in a clinical trial may not cure or even benefit your cancer, it can help doctors learn how to better treat non-small cell lung cancer in the future.
