Where are the clinical trials in Canada?
Hi Renate,
If you are a resident of Canada, we encourage you to contact The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada here: https://www.bloodcancers.ca/ or by dialing 1-833-222-4884. They should be able to help you with clinical trials available in Canada.
Very good information. Glad I listened.
Thank You.
I listened to this podcast and found it exceptionally helpful. I have MDS and had a BMT I am doing well. I appreciated hearing about the scoring. I am a NP so have increased interest personally and professionally.
