Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Patients with cancer in Hawaii who are eligible for NCI-sponsored trials and CCDR studies, including those seen at affiliated community sites.
✕Less likely to help
Patients not eligible for available trials or not receiving trial-related care may not benefit.
What this research studies
This program builds a network across Hawaii to enroll patients in NCI trials and cancer care delivery studies. It aims to extend access beyond major centers to community sites, including physician offices, so more people can participate. It emphasizes community input from patient advocates to guide trial suitability and address local healthcare needs.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: People in Hawaii could gain easier access to cutting-edge cancer trials and improved treatment options.
How similar studies have gone: Previous NCORP programs successfully expanded trial access and care delivery research to community sites in their catchment areas.
