Northwell Health community cancer clinical trials network
Northwell Health NCORP
This program brings national cancer prevention, treatment, and survivorship clinical trials to patients who receive care in the Northwell Health community so they can join research close to home.

What this research studies
If you have cancer and get care within Northwell Health, this program connects you to national cancer prevention, treatment, and care-delivery trials offered at local clinics and hospitals. Northwell partners with NCI-affiliated research bases and operates through nine performance sites across its catchment area to provide trials nearer to where patients live. The center treats about 14,000 cancer patients each year and has enrolled over 300 people in NCI-sponsored trials since 2014. The program also gathers input from local populations to identify priority concerns and tailor which trials and support services are offered.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Patients with a current cancer diagnosis, those needing cancer prevention or survivorship support, and people receiving care at Northwell Health or its affiliate sites are the ideal candidates for trials offered through this network.
Not a fit: People without cancer, or patients who live outside the Northwell catchment area and cannot attend local sites, may not directly benefit from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, more patients in the Northwell community could access cutting-edge cancer trials and supportive care options without traveling far, which may improve outcomes and quality of life.
How similar studies have performed: Community oncology networks like NCORP have previously increased trial access and enrollment and contributed to practice-changing cancer research.
