A clinical trials program is an essential part of a true cancer center. All of the current treatments for oncology patients today have been developed from yesterday’s trials. Our program enables patients in our community to receive potential direct benefit of new drugs and treatment pathways while sleeping in their own bed at night, but also indirectly builds the science for future patients who may be their loved ones.

Cancer Registry
We are now a participant in the nationwide Cancer Experience Registry. This is an online initiative to understand the experiences of those impacted by a cancer diagnosis. The Cancer Experience Registry is open to anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer—as well as those relatives or friends who assist with their care. The information from the Cancer Experience Registry helps us identify the issues that are more important to you and use that information to fill the gaps in care and deliver improved services to the cancer community. People impacted by cancer—patients and caregivers—are experts in their needs and experiences. The Cancer Experience Registry puts the patient experience and patient voice at the center of the cancer conversation. Register for this study.
