Show Notes

Approximately 39.5% of all men and women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during their lifetimes, and yet only 8% of oncology patients participate in clinical trials. Many industry leaders think that a greater focus on patient advocacy could be the missing link.

In this episode, Rose Gerber, Director of Patient Advocacy and Education at the Community Oncology Alliance – once a patient herself and now a dedicated advocate – will share her story and discuss how patient advocacy is helping to increase patient enrollment in clinical trials across every therapeutic area.
