Cancer treatment studies are under way at Saint Raphael’s. Six clinical trials focus on cancer patient’s quality of life, and treatments for cancers of the breast, prostate, and lung. Our research team is committed to searching for new ways to improve cancer patients’ quality of life while preserving the dignity of those who are not cured. Our hope is to find additional, and perhaps even better cancer treatments for patients.
Sponsored by a national cooperative research organization called the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group and funded by the National Cancer Institute, these multi-institutional trials are part of a larger effort taking place at more than 250 major research institutes throughout the United States and Canada.
