Clinical Trials Locator
"Inoperable" does not mean "untreatable".
The words "inoperable" are heard by many when receiving the diagnosis that they have lung cancer. However, here is a list of resources to help you find a clinical trial that may be right for you. Please consult with your oncologist.
Unfortunately there is not one central database for lung cancer clinical trials. But, the main data sources for clinical trials are listed below.
Please consult with your physician. However, if you feel that a clinical trial can help you and your physician will not recommend you for one, you owe it to yourself to get a second or third opinion.
