Cancer Clinical Trials
Early development clinical trials (phase I and II) are novel drug therapies that examine new treatments that provide options beyond standard of care. During these trials, researchers are carefully examining the best way to administer the treatment, determine how much can be safely given, identify important potential side effects, as well as assess cancer response.
Palliative Care
Palliative care is a specialty that focuses on improving the quality of life of individuals facing serious illness through medical management and emotional support.
