What this research studies
From a patient's point of view, this program works with community cancer clinics to open and run many different cancer studies so people can join trials close to home. They design biologically driven trials and studies about prevention, symptom management, quality of life, and survivorship. The network enrolls patients at participating sites across the country and aims to complete studies quickly and share results that change care. Patient advisors are included to help shape study design and priorities.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Adults, adolescents, and young adults with or at risk for cancer who receive care at participating community oncology sites are the typical candidates.
Not a fit: People without cancer, very young children, or patients who do not attend participating NCORP community sites are unlikely to benefit directly from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could speed access to new prevention, symptom management, and survivorship options for cancer patients seen in community clinics.
How similar studies have performed: SWOG and the NCORP network have run many successful trials in the past and contributed results that informed clinical practice and survivorship guidelines.
