Clinical Trials

A clinical trial is one of the final steps in a long and careful cancer research process that is looking for better ways to prevent, diagnose, or treat cancer.

New Research Disrupts Cancer's Feeding Cycle

Keeping cancer cells from the fat they need to grow: researchers' work brings detours from the lab… to dairy barns and gyms.

Clinical trials test new medical approaches in patients with cancer, and are important to developing new treatments for cancer. Many of the "standard treatments" that patients with cancer receive today were developed based on the results of previous clinical trials.

At any one time, the Cancer Center has 100 - 175 open clinical trials, including Cancer Center-initiated clinical trials, national multi-center trials, and pharmaceutical-funded trials.
