I've been looking for info on clinical trials recently for people at stage 4, and there's nothing on the
Cancerbacup or
CRUK sites for them at all at present.
I called CRUK, and they told me that much of their database comes from a couple of American databases.
These are the
clinicaltrials.gov and
National Cancer Institute databases. They don't just cover the US, but the whole world, and have more up-to-date information on UK trials than the UK databases.
Cancerbacup's database also uses the
National Cancer Research Network database as a source. This database is linked to a European database as well.
So if you are looking for info on trials, these last three databases will give you wider and more up-to-date information than the predigested Cancerbacup and CRUK ones.
