We also do many scientific studies (trials) for lung cancer. If you are being treated at the NKI Lung Cancer Centre, there is a good chance that we will ask you to participate in such a study.

We are learning more and more about how tumors work. This knowledge helps us to make the treatments better. Research into the hereditary characteristics of the tumor plays an important role in this.

Sometimes you will receive a treatment that is still being investigated. Then we test new medicines or other treatments that seem to work well, for example.

By participating in clinical research, you also help to create a better future for patients. Sometimes you also get earlier access to a new treatment that is not yet available everywhere.

Always discuss with your doctor whether you want to participate in research. This way you know what is possible and what it means for you.
