A navigator is a person who is trained to help someone with cancer get the help they need. A navigator may be a peer (someone who also had or has cancer), a nurse, or a social worker. A navigator can either provide general support for many needs or focus on a specific area, such as clinical trials.
Here at BreastCancerTrials.org, our Clinical Trial Navigator can help you find a clinical trial that’s right for you.
