The matching process typically involves several steps:
Patient Profiling: Detailed information about the patient's medical history, cancer type, stage, and genetic markers is collected. Database Search: Specialized software or databases are used to match the patient's profile with available trials. Eligibility Check: The patient’s eligibility is verified based on inclusion and exclusion criteria of the trial. Consultation: The patient and their healthcare provider discuss the potential benefits and risks of the trial before deciding to participate.
