Choosing cancer research centers: what to know
Cancer research centers carry out laboratory, clinical and population research. Some also treat patients and run clinical trials, which can give access to new treatments. Centers designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) are marked where we can match them.
If you are interested in a trial, ask your oncologist first, then search the national registry by condition and location.
Questions to ask
- Do you see patients, or only conduct research?
- Are there open trials for my cancer type and stage?
- What would participating involve: visits, travel, costs?
