Clinical and Investigation Trials
Clinical Trials - Our patients have access to therapies
arising from the latest national clinical investigations. Our division has made
significant contributions through research to the body of medical literature guiding
current, as well as, traditional therapeutic strategies. Patients may participate
in on-going clinical investigations gaining access to therapies not available at
many instituions or take adavatage of the latest concepts developed by various trials.
These may include:
Novel Vaccine Trials
For some types of cancers, specialized vaccines help the body's own immune system
recognize tumor cells as foreign so that they can be destroyed. Cancer vaccines
do not prevent cancer, but allow the body's own defenses to attack existing or growing
tumor cells.
