What this research studies
This program partners with hospitals, clinics, and doctor offices in Colorado and neighboring western states so patients can join National Cancer Institute (NCI) trials close to home. It focuses on cancer prevention, control, reducing disparities, care delivery research, and provides access to NCI treatment and imaging trials. Local sites screen and enroll eligible patients, collect health information, and follow participants according to the trial plans. By working with a mix of community hospitals, health systems, and private practices, the network aims to expand trial access for people who might not otherwise be able to participate.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: People with cancer, those at higher risk for cancer, or patients receiving care at participating community hospitals and clinics in the program's catchment are best suited to participate.
Not a fit: Individuals who live outside the Western States NCORP service area or whose cancer type or stage is not eligible for any open trials may not directly benefit.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients could gain easier access to new treatments, prevention measures, and improved care approaches without long-distance travel.
How similar studies have performed: Other NCORP and community-based trial networks have a track record of increasing access and enrollment in NCI trials, though outcomes depend on which specific trials are open.
