Our users are viewing this article titled "Biomarkers and Personalized Medicine" more than any other article on our site. That makes sense, especially in pancreatic cancer, where targeting the KRAS mutation or other biomarkers is particularly helpful in finding treatments which may have better outcomes than traditional standard of care chemotherapy.

Placebos. It’s something we get asked a lot about from patients and caregivers. If you’re curious how placebos do - and don’t - apply to cancer clinical trials, please see this brief article: https://www.tricanhealth.com/learn/placebos-and-cancer-treatment

The TLDR (Too Long, Didn’t Read) summary? Placebos are given *with the standard of care* treatment for patients with cancer. So you don’t just get a sugar pill - you get standard chemotherapy, too.

See a more complete explanation in this article.

Roselyn White and Mike Harris just co-authored an article (https://ampmed.site/D5zHf3be) in Conquer magazine which debunks common myths around cancer clinical trials, including Myth #3: I’ll Only Receive a Placebo, or I’ll Be Randomized Into Getting No Treatment. [Spoiler alert: for oncology trials, you always receive treatment.]

Many thanks to Roselyn - she is an amazing patient navigator for Susan G. Komen, a cancer survivor, talented writer, and all-around good human. In short, she's a gem. (https://www.komen.org/blog/roselyns-story-breast-cancer-helped-me-find-my-passion-2/)
