website for oncology clinical trials?

[gwydion04]

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody knew a good information source for oncology clinical trials. My mom was just diagnosed with grade 1 follicular lymphoma, and I was hoping that she might be able to get in a clinical trial, since she's pretty young and healthy. Thanks for your help.

Usually hospitals will post their clinical trials on their websites. Look at the eligibility requirements carefully. Checking with an online-support group can be helpful to see if anyone else has tried the drug, and what their experiences were. It is usually a good idea to pick a hospital which is close to home.
