Depending on your medical condition, you may be offered participation in a study to compare the effectiveness of different types of treatments. These studies are developed and monitored by large regional and national research organizations. The results are published in medical journals and presented at national conferences. Strict confidentiality is maintained at all times. The purpose of these studies is to make available to other providers the most up-to-date findings on the efficiency of different treatments, and to provide new treatments to our patients as quickly and safely as possible. Some new drugs may be provided at no cost to patients.

These trials are available at our office through the Christiana Care Community Clinical Oncology Program. Please feel free to ask your hematologist/oncologist if you may benefit from one of these programs.
