Clinical Trials

Taking Cancer Care in New Directions

In the last few decades, important progress has been made in cancer diagnosis and treatment modalities, with improvement in the overall survival and quality of life of patients with cancer. However, sometimes the best available treatments may be less than satisfactory in most of the malignancies.

Identifying new, effective treatments can be done only through clinical research. It is through this science that exciting new ways to treat cancer are being discovered, very often providing a better quality of life for our patients.

There are thousands of people who have benefited from clinical trials. Over the years many of the drugs that were tested are now considered standard treatment for cancer patients all over the world.

You do not need to travel to large hospitals or cancer centers to access some of the latest clinical trials. In 2021, we are currently offering 27 clinical trials with over 80 patients enrolled. We continue to add new trials as promising new treatments become available. Click below to learn more about our current trials and what it entails to be a part of a clinical trial.
