Today many providers have opinions about treatment and they are reluctant to place patient into trials because they feel one arm to be inforero to the other. Shamey discussed the concept of fallibility, where he points out that all provider opinions are sufficiently uncertain which therefore begs the need of the trial and enrolled therein. Another area of ethical concerns is what to do when the trials are leaning excessively one way or another. In the Early NSAB trial. 3 arms were established to determine the best treatment of breast cancer. Mastectomy, lumpectomy, or lumpectomy with radiation. The study early on showed such poor outcome in the lumpectomy only group that this arm of the trial was stopped early. The other too arms were completed and from this we know that the surgive of
