One : One of the first steps a patient should take when trying to find a clinical trial for breast cancer is to speak to her physician regarding whether she might be a good candidate for a clinical trial. The type of trial she could be enrolled in will be determined by the extent of her disease, her physical condition, and previous treatment. There may be available trials at the patient's own medical institution. If not, one of the most comprehensive resources available is the national cancer institute's website - http://www.Cancer.Gov/clinicaltrials/search. The patient is asked to answer a few short questions online about her cancer and where she lives, and then a list of available trials in her general locale is immediately displayed. She can then show this list to her physician to clarify whether any of the trials is appropriate for her.

NCI: Seek care at a national cancer institute designated comprehensive cancer center. This will give you the best access to available clinical trials. Another option is to go to the website www.Cancer.Gov and click in the clinical trial link!
