What this research studies
As a patient in the Dayton area, this program connects me with local hospitals and specialists running cancer clinical trials across medical, surgical, and radiation oncology. It partners with Wright State University and member hospitals to organize studies, recruit adult participants, and follow standardized protocols and audits. The program board and staff oversee enrollment, safety, budgets, and data collection, and studies may involve clinic visits, treatments, surveys, or giving biospecimens. Participation is community-based so many procedures happen at local hospitals or clinics rather than far-away academic centers.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Adults with cancer (typically age 21 and older) who receive care at participating Dayton-area hospitals and are willing to join clinical trials or provide samples are the best candidates.
Not a fit: Children, people without a cancer diagnosis, patients who live outside the Dayton service area, or those who do not meet specific trial eligibility criteria are unlikely to benefit directly.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: It could provide local access to new cancer treatments and trials and let patients contribute to research that may improve cancer care.
How similar studies have performed: Community oncology programs like NCORP/CCOP have a history of enrolling patients into national cancer trials and bringing effective treatments into community settings.
