The Oncology Research Program, in partnership with local oncologists, offers patients access to leading-edge clinical trials sponsored by the National Cancer Institute's Cooperative Group Program or by pharmaceutical companies. These clinical trials study investigational drugs, new combinations of standard treatments for cancer, or cancer prevention in high risk patients.
