Clinical Trials


At the Regional Cancer Center we believe that patients and physicians benefit from being involved in clinical trials. Clinical trials help advance the science of cancer care, including new approaches to diagnosis, treatment and support of cancer patients.

The Regional Cancer Center is a member of the Southeast Clinical Oncology Research Consortium (SCOR) Southeastclinicaloncology.org, bringing more than 150 National cancer Institute sponsored trials to our local community. In addition we partner with other organizations to participate in rese arch in specific areas.
