Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Adults with cancer treated at WiNCORP-affiliated sites who meet trial-specific criteria and are open to participating in NCI-sponsored studies.
✕Less likely to help
Patients without eligible cancer diagnoses, or those who do not meet trial criteria or prefer standard care.
What this research studies
WiNCORP brings together three major health systems to offer diverse cancer trials to largely rural populations. The program coordinates hospitals, clinics, and research staff to enroll patients and deliver cutting-edge treatments through NCI-sponsored studies. It focuses on delivering real-world cancer care improvements by integrating trial access into routine oncology care. If you have cancer and live in or near Wisconsin, upper Michigan, or parts of northern Iowa and southeastern Minnesota, you may encounter opportunities to participate in these trials through your local providers.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Patients could gain access to new therapies and care options that may improve outcomes and quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: Past NCORP partnerships have successfully opened multiple trials and increased patient enrollment in community settings.
