What this research studies
You can access National Cancer Institute community clinical trials through Montefiore, which offers studies in cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. The program partners with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and national research groups (ECOG-ACRIN, Alliance, NRG) to bring trials to local patients. Montefiore emphasizes enrolling populations historically under‑represented in trials and provides local care and support to make participation easier. Program staff also help lead and manage trial protocols to bring more opportunities to the community.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Adults with early-stage or advanced cancer who can receive care at Montefiore sites and are willing to join a clinical trial are the best candidates.
Not a fit: People without cancer, or cancer patients who do not meet specific trial eligibility rules or who cannot attend Montefiore locations, may not benefit directly.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could increase access to new cancer prevention, diagnostic, and treatment options for patients, especially those from under‑represented communities.
How similar studies have performed: NCORP and community oncology programs have a strong track record of expanding trial access and Montefiore has long experience and success in enrolling diverse patients.
