The overall aim of this thesis was to study participants' understanding of clinical cancer trials, and their motivation for participation. Of particular interest was the question of whether the patients hoped for a cure resulting from the trial.
In conclusion, the informed consent process seems to work relatively well, with good results within most subgroups. However, patients with end-stage cancer who are participating in phase 1 trials are a vulnerable group as they have very little potential for treatment benefit coupled with a tangible risk of harm. | | Eier: | HELSTILS |
