As part of our endless pursuit of excellence, the Cancer Institute at Flagler
Health+ wants you to be fully informed about your cancer diagnosis and
any related clinical trials. Clinical trials help advance medical science
and provide cancer patients with additional treatment options. These trials
test experimental medicines and procedures in cooperation with patient
volunteers to determine the effectiveness of new treatment methods. Modern
cancer care owes a tremendous debt to clinical trial volunteers who contribute
to the next great breakthrough in oncology research.
Flagler Health+ draws upon the expertise of our cancer institute's staff
to participate in
National Cooperative Intergroup trials along with other leading cancer programs nationwide. Flagler offers
a wide range of chemotherapy and radiation trials under the auspices of
the Institutional Review Board, allowing data gathered to be pooled with
results from other eminent institutions.
