Make 2nds Count Patient Trial Advocate (PTA) Service
The PTA service is here to help secondary breast cancer patients potentially find a clinical trial and to support them through the clinical trial process.

Finding the right information about available clinical trials and understanding the associated complex information is a challenge for all secondary breast cancer patients.

The PTA is ran by senior research nurses with experience in secondary breast cancer and clinical trials.

If you are a patient living in the UK with metastatic breast cancer and interested in seeking advice about a clinical trial, please complete the referral form on the PTA section of the M2C website and book a slot to speak with a member of the team.
