Leading Together in Cancer Research

The US Oncology Network is a worldwide leader in cancer research, and many practices in The Network offer their patients a chance to participate in some of the most advanced cancer clinical trials available today. Clinical trials provide patients the opportunity for a better outcome and quality of life, while playing a vital role in the fight against cancer. These novel cancer clinical trials are usually only available in major academic medical centers or hospital systems located in large cities, but practices in The US Oncology Network make them accessible to patient’s right in their local communities where they have the support of family and friends.
