Services for Patients

When you or a loved one are diagnosed with cancer, it is important to know every treatment option available for the most complete care. This may include clinical trials, which are research studies designed to evaluate new cancer prevention and treatment options. Clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of new or modified treatments in cancer patients using new drugs, unique approaches to surgery and radiation therapy, or various combinations of treatments.

Cancer clinical trials have resulted in effective treatment for breast cancer, life-prolonging treatment for colorectal cancer and prevention strategies. In fact, all of today's recognized cancer treatments were proven by clinical trials before they became generally available. Despite these successes, a recent survey revealed only 15% of cancer patients were aware that they could participate in clinical trials as part of their treatment.

It is the opinion of many medical professionals that if you have cancer you should at least consider participating in a clinical trial along with all your other treatment options. Treatment options provided through clinical trials may not be available any other way. Therefore, if you are not evaluating potential treatments accessible through the clinical trials process alongside current standard therapies, you're simply making a decision without weighing all of your available options.
