What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the participation of patients in NCI-sponsored clinical trials at the Weill Cornell Medicine - Meyer Cancer Center. The approach involves optimizing strategies to engage a diverse patient population across multiple locations, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. By identifying barriers to participation and implementing targeted outreach efforts, the research aims to increase awareness and accessibility of clinical trials for cancer patients. The methodology includes collaboration with various cancer research networks and leveraging existing infrastructure to facilitate patient enrollment.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are cancer patients residing in the catchment area of the Meyer Cancer Center who may benefit from participation in clinical trials.
Not a fit: Patients who are not diagnosed with cancer or those who are unable to participate in clinical trials due to medical or logistical reasons may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to increased participation in clinical trials, providing patients with access to cutting-edge cancer therapies and improving treatment outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in improving clinical trial participation through targeted outreach and engagement strategies, indicating that this approach is both tested and promising.
