“By increasing investment in cancer trials infrastructure, we could be offering Irish cancer patients more options and potentially better outcomes.
Cancer trials can extend lives and give people a better quality of life. When I am in the clinic with a cancer patient, there are times I want to be able to offer more than the standard of care treatment and that’s where a trial can help. At the moment, due to the resource constraints in our cancer units and at our head office, there are trials we simply cannot do at present.”
