Cancer Clinical Trials
A great benefit of our formal affiliation with the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center is the local access to clinical trials. Our research team carefully screens all new oncology patients and attends all tumor board meetings to identify potential patients who might benefit from a study.
The number of available trials continues to grow. Please contact our clinical research nurse at 443-643-1181 for additional information.
A meeting explaining the trial, or clinical trials in general, can help you decide whether or not you would like to participate in the study. Participation is voluntary and you may stop at any time, for any reason. By agreeing to take part in a research study, you may need to see the doctor more often and you may also be required to have specific blood work or imaging completed. Frequent monitoring is done throughout the study to ensure safety.
