A quotation from a Research Nurse at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary working on the MILI trial says, "The possibility of discovering medication that will reduce the incidence of cancer is exciting and will change the lives of many patients living with the condition".

The full title of the MILI trial is "Metformin in Li Fraumeni Syndrome Trial: A phase II randomised open-label cancer prevention trial of metformin in adults with Li Fraumeni Syndrome".

But what does "randomised" mean, and why is it done...
