CLINICAL TRIALS
Clinical trials and medical research are an important focus of Virginia Cancer
Institute.
Significant advances have been made in the past few years, however, many cancers
and diseases of the blood are not yet curable. It is for this reason that
clinical research trials are so very important. The patients of Virginia Cancer
Institute who participate in
clinical trials are among the first to receive new medications and revolutionary
technological advances that offer hope.
The physicians of Virginia Cancer Institute have conscientiously chosen to participate in a broad range of
clinical research trials that evaluate new treatment options to
determine if they are safe, effective and better than current standard care. To
conduct these trials, we rely on patients who volunteer to participate, and who
benefit from having the opportunity to be among the first to receive the latest
advances in the fields of Anemia, Breast Cancer, Colon Cancer, Leukemia,
Lymphoma, Lung Cancer, Ovarian Cancer, Pancreatic Cancer, Prostate Cancer and
new therapies for the treatment of nausea & diarrhea caused by chemotherapy.
