Understanding Clinical Trials in Liver Cancer — Animation

This animation explains liver cancer clinical trials, how they are conducted, and why they are important for patients with liver cancer. Clinical trials help researchers find new ways to diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases, including liver cancer. New tests and treatments are needed for liver cancer, which affects a substantial number of people each year. The most common type of liver cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is the fastest-rising cause of death in the United States. Watch to learn about clinical trial phases, monitoring and safety, eligibility criteria, informed consent, the potential benefits and risks of participation, and how to find liver cancer clinical trials. Be sure to discuss all your treatment options, including clinical trials, with your healthcare team.
