Clinical trial support at every stage in your journey.
Cancer clinical trials can help save lives, drive innovation and improve the quality of care for future generations. But for patients and caregivers going through cancer, they can be another frightening unknown. Talking to someone who’s been there can help.
The Lazarex Cancer Foundation is dedicated to improving the outcome of cancer care for advanced stage cancer patients and the medically underserved by connecting them with information and resources, as well as financial assistance to help with the out-of-pocket costs associated with clinical trial participation. In addition, we are committed to creating safe spaces through our Cancer Wellness Hubs for at-risk community members to talk about concerns related to their cancer experience and to explore prevention, treatment, and clinical trial options.
Mentorship and Hope From People Who Have Been There
With a shared mission to inspire hope and address barriers to participation in lifesaving research, Cancer Hope Network and the Lazarex Cancer Foundation have joined forces to walk your cancer path with you as you navigate the process of participating in a clinical trial. Together, we are here to provide combined support and resources that can make your journey a bit easier.
By partnering with Cancer Hope Network’s Talking About Clinical Trials (TACT) program, the Lazarex Cancer Foundation is proud to add peer mentorship support to the tools we offer to patients and their families. Cancer Hope Network’s TACT Peer Mentors are specially trained to provide support to patients who are either considering or currently participating in a cancer clinical trial.
Cancer Hope Network Peer Mentors are available to share their experiences and answer any questions you may have about participating in a cancer clinical trial. If you are nervous about clinical trial research, our Peer Mentors are here to provide a safe space where emotions can be expressed openly, and they will support you as you process your thoughts about participating in a clinical trial.
