What Is a Clinical Trial?

Clinical trials are an important way to research cancers and new cancer treatments. Under the care and close supervision of our experts, we offer advanced new cancer treatments, and monitor their safety and effectiveness, through clinical trials.

Should You Consider a Clinical Trial?

Whether you should consider a clinical trial is something to discuss with your support team — and that includes us! Clinical trials offer several benefits, including:

  • Access to the newest advances in cancer treatment
  • Improved chances of survival
  • Regular, thorough monitoring of your health
