We’ve been providing people with cancer with access to clinical trials for more than 20 years. The goal of our clinical research program is to provide each individual with a research option at every step of their disease, from initial diagnosis to long-term follow-up. Our trials include the use of chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted therapies, as well quality of life/symptom management trials.
By joining a clinical trial, you gain access to leading-edge treatments that are not yet widely available. You can also join cancer prevention, cancer control and quality of life studies through our cancer centers. Your participation helps advance medical science, which will benefit future cancer patients.
