Could this be for you?

Answer for yourself. This is not a decision: only the study team can say whether you can take part.

  • What type of cancer has the patient been diagnosed with?
  • Has the patient had a stem cell transplant (a transplant of blood-forming cells from a donor or from their own body)?
  • Is the patient pregnant or breastfeeding?
