Cancer is not a single disease; it is hundreds. Cancers of the lung, breast, prostate, and colon are the most common forms of the disease, and account for about half of all diagnoses. But less common forms of cancer also account for about half of diagnoses, and these are not as well studied.
A paper has recently been published in Current Oncology outlining the incorporation of patient engagement in the development of clinical trial at the Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG).
