Clinical trials for penile cancer

Clinical trials test new treatments or approaches for penile cancer. Taking part may give you access to cutting-edge therapies and help improve care for future patients.

Clinical trials are used to try and improve ways of treating cancer or reducing possible side effects of treatment. If you are being treated for penile cancer which has spread to other areas of your body, you may be asked if you wish to take part in a clinical trial involving a combination of treatment, or immunotherapy. If you agree to take part, you can still opt out of the trial in the future without affecting your care or treatment.
