How to get into an early trial
- A lab does not treat patients, so you cannot phone the lab to get a new treatment.
- Ask your doctor to look at phase 1 trials with you. These are the first tests in people.
- If one fits, your doctor sends a referral to the trial centre.
- The trial team checks whether you can join and decides.
Trial data: ClinicalTrials.gov, courtesy of the U.S. National Library of Medicine; it does not endorse this site. EU trials: EU Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS), European Medicines Agency. We show the registry records; the trial team has the last word on who can join.

Get screened
For family members and people at higher risk: free checks can find some cancers early, before there are symptoms.
There is no routine screening for this cancer. If you have symptoms or a family history, talk to your doctor.
If several people in your family had cancer, ask your GP whether genetic counselling makes sense for you.
Offer tissue or data
You can help research move faster.
Give tissue or blood to research
Before an operation or a blood test, ask if left-over tissue or blood can go to a biobank.
- Does this hospital have a biobank?
- What will the sample be used for, and for how long?
- Can I change my mind later?
Share your health data
Ask your doctor whether there is a patient registry for your illness. You choose what you share.
Take part as a healthy volunteer
Some studies need people without the illness, often family members.

Money and work
If the illness stops you working, ask the hospital social worker which benefits you can claim.
- Which sick-pay or disability benefits can I apply for?
- Is there help for the carer in the family?
- Are travel costs to treatment paid back?
After a loss
If someone you love has died, you do not have to go through it alone. Many families ask themselves whether they missed something; the care team can talk this through with you.
We have no grief support group in Austria in our list yet. The hospital's social worker or palliative team can tell you where to find one.
Hospitals and hospices have chaplains and counsellors, for any faith or none.
Some families decide to give tissue to research after death, so that the illness can be studied. If you want to, ask the treating hospital early whether it has such a programme.
Access and cost
- If no trial fits, your doctor can ask the company and the medicines authority whether early access (compassionate use) is possible.
- In Austria the medicines agency BASG lists the early-access programmes that are running. BASG (Austria): list of compassionate use programmes, no. 054
- In the EU you may get planned care in another EU country. Ask your health insurer before you go. Your Europe: planned medical treatment abroad
Don't pay for this
No one will cure you through a Facebook message or ask you to invest money.
- Animal worm medicines bought online (ivermectin, fenbendazole)
They are made for animals and not tested for cancer in people. High doses can cause seizures or coma, fenbendazole has caused liver damage, they may weaken your cancer treatment, and they can keep you out of a trial.

- “Treatment plans” offered in comments
Ask which published study in people is behind it. Usually there is none.
- Anyone who answers your post with a private treatment
Real trials are listed in a public registry. Check the number on ClinicalTrials.gov or the EU trial register.
- Strangers offering investments or “funds” for treatment
Do not reply and do not send money. Report the comment or message.
Before you pay for anything, ask three things
- Can I have a written price, with everything that is included?
- Which published study in people shows it helps my disease?
- What does my doctor say about it?
