My husband is diagnosed with esophagus cancer, it was invasive and stage 4, that spread to his liver, pancreas, bones. Is there any chance that he can participate in Immunotherapy clinical trial
Hello Evangeline. We are sorry to learn about your husband’s esophageal cancer. Clinical trials, or research studies, test how well new medical approaches work in people. Most clinical trials have eligibility requirements that include criteria such as type of cancer, stage (extent) of the cancer, and treatment history. Your husband’s doctor can help to determine his eligibility for a clinical trial and weigh the risks and benefits of taking part in a trial. You can learn more about clinical trials and how they are conducted at www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/clinical-trials/, and you can learn more about immunotherapy to treat cancer at www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/types/immunotherapy. You can also contact our Cancer Information Service to request a tailored search for your husband at www.cancer.gov/contact. Take care.

Hi Ismael, Thank you for your interest in NCI. We are very sorry to hear about your mother’s diagnosis and everything that she has been through. It is understandable that you are interested in learning about immunotherapy. It may be helpful to know that there are many different types of immunotherapy, and immunotherapies are still being studied in clinical trials, which are research studies involving people, for cervical cancer. More information on immunotherapy, can be found here: www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/types/immunotherapy . Any person thinking about traveling to the United States for treatment should discuss this decision with their doctor. Your mother's doctor can discuss whether she is able to travel and help decide if clinical trials are an option. More information about coming to the U.S. for treatment and paying for clinical trials, can be found here: www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/managing-care/services#choosing-facility . Due to the potential logistical barriers of traveling to the United States for a clinical trial, you may want to start by searching for trials in or near Guatemala: apps.who.int/trialsearch/ . Furthermore, you may be able to learn about local clinical trials and resources by contacting cancer organizations in Guatemala, more information can be found here: icisg.org/membership/membership-list/ and here: www.uicc.org/membership . We wish your mother the best.
Thank you for your work thank you for giving my Grandma a chance God bless the researchers :)
