Introducing myTRIAList

Understanding the challenges and emotional strain that come with cancer, CancerCare now helps simplify one aspect of the patient journey: finding the most promising treatment options for their diagnosis. These include clinical trials, which help discover advancements in the standards of care.

After consultation with clients, health care professionals and other experts, we are introducing myTRIAList. This free, online tool helps patients learn more about clinical trials, find clinical trials available for their diagnoses and see testimonials from other patients. In this way, patients can know much more about their treatment options when they need timely information the most.
