FORTE Patient Trifold Brochures


The FORTE Patient Trifold Brochure is a resource available to NRG-CC005 sites to contact patients about this trial. This brochure can be mailed with introductory information about FORTE to patients to educate them before a phone call. They can also be placed in clinics as reading material, pinned to bulletin boards, and more.

 

NRG Oncology printed a limited number of physical copies of this trifold brochure for you to distribute to potentially eligible patients. Request these from the NRG Oncology office in Pittsburgh by emailing forte@nrgoncology.org. Please include the number of brochures and a mailing address for your site in this email.
