Summary
This study aims to find out why only a small number of cancer patients in Martinique take part in clinical trials. Researchers will interview 30 patients and survey healthcare professionals to identify obstacles like strict rules, lack of awareness, or trust issues. The goal is to improve participation so that more patients can benefit from cutting-edge treatments.
