Diagnosed with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). Now what?

Why You Should Consider a Clinical Trial
Listen in as Alicia and Lizette chat with John F. Gerecitano, MD, PhD, Clinical Director of Lymphoma Outpatient Services at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Margaret (Peg) McCormick, RN, BSN, MA, Director of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Clinical Trial Support Center (CTSC). Hear about the role clinical trials play in cancer treatment, who can participate in a clinical trial and how participants are protected, how LLS’s Clinical Trial Support Center assists patients in finding a trial that is right for them, and why it is important to think of clinical trials as a possible treatment option instead of a last resort. Support for this episode provided by Bristol-Myers Squibb.
