There are different types of studies and trials involved in research. Participation in research can help inform every aspect of a patient’s cancer journey. And we have trials that seek to find ways to improve the quality of life for people who are living with cancer or who have just completed their treatment. We also study how cancer progresses in different individuals and under different circumstances, such as when other health conditions are involved. We have studies that seek to find better ways to detect and prevent cancer in patients who have never had it, may have a family history of it, or are worried about their cancer coming back.
Taking part in research can also present patients who have attempted other treatments or are looking for other options with a choice not otherwise available to the general public because the medications and therapies involved are still being evaluated.īut research at Baylor Scott & White is about more than just seeing how we can treat cancer. Participation in clinical trials helps create new ideas, and it helps researchers gain new knowledge, data, and insights that can impact potential treatments and medications that could help future generations. Cancer hates innovation-and research IS innovation. Research is an important aspect in the fight against cancer. Learn more about clinical research by following:
