What are the challenges in recruiting participants?
Recruiting participants for cancer trials can be particularly challenging due to:
Limited patient populations: Some cancer types are rare, making it difficult to find enough eligible participants. Stringent eligibility criteria: To ensure safety and reliability, trials often have strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, further narrowing the pool of potential participants. Patient reluctance: Fear of side effects, lack of awareness, or mistrust in the medical system can deter patients from enrolling in trials.
