What this means, and what it doesn't

What it could mean: This is one place where a new drug for brain metastases from breast cancer is being tested. If this sounds like your situation, you could ask your care team about it. They can tell you if a trial like this makes sense for you.

What it doesn't mean: This does not mean the drug works. A trial is a test, not a proven treatment. Joining a trial is not a guarantee that you will be helped. It is not a promise of a cure. The trial team decides who can take part.
