What this research studies
You would join through Kaiser Permanente clinics that are part of a national community oncology network bringing trials into local care settings. The program enrolls eligible patients in multi-site cancer prevention, treatment, imaging, symptom management, and quality-of-life studies. Local KP clinicians and population scientists run and contribute to these studies so you can participate without traveling to distant academic centers. The site focuses on increasing trial access and improving cancer care delivery in community practice.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are Kaiser Permanente members or patients receiving care at participating KP community oncology clinics who have cancer, are at risk, or meet eligibility for prevention, treatment, or care-delivery studies.
Not a fit: Patients who do not receive care at participating KP sites, who live far from enrolling clinics, or who do not meet specific trial eligibility criteria may not benefit directly from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could give more patients easier access to clinical trials and to interventions aimed at preventing cancer, improving treatment, and enhancing quality of life.
How similar studies have performed: Other NCORP community oncology programs have a track record of increasing trial enrollment and access in community settings, so this continues an established model.
