Frequently Asked Questions
How many hospitals are participating in this study?
"Presently, this clinical trial is taking place in 77 different medical facilities. These locations include major cities such as Montreal, Halifax, and Dallas. If it is possible, patients should select the trial site that is closest to them in order to reduce travel time and expenses."
For what medical conditions is surgery the go-to treatment?
"Conventional surgery is the go-to treatment for most patients with merkel cell cancer. However, it can also prove effective in managing other conditions, such as prostate cancer, advanced testicular cancer, and small cell lung cancer."
Does this approach to surgery have a long and storied tradition?
"The first clinical trial examining the efficacy of conventional surgery was conducted in 1997 at Spectrum Health Hospital - Butterworth Campus. As of now, a total of 2,195 studies have completed. There are 1,305 active clinical trials at the moment, with many of these taking place in Montreal, Quebec."
Has the FDA cleared traditional surgery as an effective treatment?
