According to the National Cancer Institute, there are different types of cancer clinical trials, including:
| Prevention Trials |
| |
Designed to keep cancer from developing in people who have not previously had cancer. |
| |
Designed to prevent a new type of cancer from developing in people who have had cancer. |
| Early Detection Trials |
| |
Designed to find cancer, especially in the early stages. |
| Treatment Trials |
| |
Trials designed to test new therapies in people who have cancer. They are designed to answer specific questions, and evaluate the effectiveness of a new treatment or a new way of using a standard treatment. |
| Quality of Life Studies |
| |
Designed to improve comfort and quality of life for people who have cancer. |
| Genetics Studies |

These studies are sometimes included in a treatment clinical trial. The genetics component of the trial may focus on how genetic makeup can affect detection, diagnosis, or response to cancer treatment. |
