Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Adults with cancer in the Northwell catchment area who meet trial eligibility and wish to participate in NCORP studies.
✕Less likely to help
Patients not eligible for NCORP studies or who prefer standard care without trial participation.
What this research studies
The Northwell Health Cancer Institute will continue as a community site for NCORP, helping bring national cancer prevention, treatment, and care studies to local patients. The program emphasizes patient access, diverse participation, and understanding local concerns to improve trial representativeness. It involves collaboration across Northwell sites to streamline referrals, communication, and patient pathways from primary care to trial participation. The focus is on real-world cancer care, including aftercare and ongoing management, within the community setting.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Patients in the local catchment area may gain access to cutting-edge cancer trials and more representative, accessible care options.
How similar studies have gone: NCORP-affiliated community sites have historically enrolled patients in national cancer trials, broadening trial access.
