    GlossaryCancer Prevention Trials

    research studies testing methods to reduce cancer risk

    Cancer Prevention Trials are research studies designed to find ways to reduce the risk of developing cancer. These trials test new medications, supplements, lifestyle changes, or other interventions to see if they can prevent cancer in people who have not yet been diagnosed but may be at higher risk. For professionals, these trials are crucial for identifying effective preventive strategies and understanding the mechanisms by which these interventions work.
