    DescriptionThis mini-series on BBC North West Tonight follows a cancer patient being recruited and participating in an early phase clinical trial of a new experimental anti-cancer drug at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust. The video provides a unique insight into the feelings and considerations of a patient going through this process and would be an invaluable resource for any patient considering participation in an early phase cancer clinical trial. The video also provides expert insight from Dr Matthew Krebs, Clinical Senior Lecturer in Experimental Cancer Medicine at The University of Manchester, responsible for the patient's care, and an educational overview of the relevance, importance and conduct of this vitally important area of cancer research.
