Cutting Edge Cancer Treatments Through Research Studies

Cancer clinical trials are research studies seeking better treatments for cancer or better ways to prevent, screen, or diagnose cancer. Many of today’s most effective standard treatments for cancer are based on previous clinical trials. Many people who are treated for cancer are now living longer thanks to progress made through these research studies.

Promising new cancer treatments are often only available through clinical trials. Studies have shown that cancer programs which offer clinical trials - like The Cooper Cancer Institute - provide the best care for all patients.

Clinical trial participants, who are all volunteers, receive regular and careful medical attention from researchers (doctors, study nurses, and other health professionals). In cancer treatment research studies, participants receive either the new treatment being tested or the best available standard treatment for their cancer.

The largest cancer clinical trials program in South Jersey is housed at the Cancer Clinical Trials Center at The Cooper Cancer Institute. Each year, the center offers more than 100 phase II, III, and IV research studies in virtually all types of cancer. Many of these studies are only available in South Jersey - and sometimes the Delaware Valley - at Cooper.
