Identify the exact option
Ask for the treatment or study name and institution, and whether it is approved care or clinical research.
Confirm eligibility
Only the medical or research team can determine individual eligibility and availability.
Understand costs and responsibilities
Ask what is included, what remains your responsibility, what consent is required and how follow-up is provided.
Keep claims in perspective
An individual outcome, research result and approved indication are different forms of evidence.
