Details

This trial looked at comparing the delivery of cancer drug treatment at the hospital, at the family doctor (GP) surgery and at home.

Most people have cancer drugs at the hospital where they see their cancer doctors. Because of new and improved ways of giving cancer drugs, it may be possible to give cancer drugs in the community. This may also be better for patients.

Recruitment start: 1 January 2009

Recruitment end: 17 May 2011
