A prevention trial is a research study.
A cancer prevention trial is a study of a large group of
people. A prevention trial tries to find better ways to
prevent people from getting cancer or lower the chances
that people will get it.
A prevention trial is different from a treatment trial.
A treatment trial finds better ways to treat cancer in people
who already have it.
