Clinical trials

Clinical researchers at the Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center work together to study cancer in all its forms – providing patients with some of the most innovative approaches available to fight cancer. Cancer patients have access to leading-edge treatments and therapies through clinical trials.

Clinical trials are research studies in which new therapies and treatments are tested in patients to determine if they are safe and effective. By participating in clinical trials, you can help improve treatments and care for cancer patients now and in the future.

Benefits to being part of a clinical trial include:

• Early access to new approaches and treatment methods.
• New approaches to surgery or radiation therapy.
