Cancer Center Research Trials

Our patients are offered the opportunity to participate in national studies approved by the National Cancer Institute (NCI).   We are very active in clinical research in finding new treatments for patients.   We have a dedicated team coordinating the data from our clinical trials.

Through the NCI we also have the ability to offer our patients very select trials through other research groups such as the NSABP (National Surgical Adjuvant Breast Project), ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) and COG (Children's Oncology Group).

 

      

The RTOG is a national study group that offers the latest studies in radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy or other treatments.  We currently have active studies in prostate, head & neck, breast, and pancreatic cancers. We are constantly offering new protocols to our patients. The following protocols are currently active:

RTOG 98-04

RTOG P0011

RTOG H-0022

RTOG P0126

RTOG 0211

RTOG 0212

RTOG 0213

RTOG 0214

RTOG 0239

In House Clinical Trials

We are constantly offering patients clinical trials developed in our cancer centers.  Some of these studies include combinations or slight alterations in standard treatments.  All our studies must be approved by our Institutional Review Board that set clinical and ethical standards for our cancer centers.   Many of the current standards of practice for cancers of the cervix, anal canal and esophagus were conceived and piloted in in-house clinical studies by members of AROS with the help of local oncologists.
