Did you know Clearview Cancer Institute has been involved in Clinical Research for over 20 years? Findings from clinical trial research have led to significant advances in cancer prevention and treatment, and Clearview offers numerous clinical trials whereby patients who volunteer for them receive innovative, state-of-the-art cancer care.
Clearview knows that they're not alone in this ongoing battle, which is why they have cooperated with other leading cancer centers like the Sarah Cannon Cancer Center in Nashville, as well as other research hospitals across the nation.
As a member of national and international clinical research groups including the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP), International Oncology Network Clinical Research (ION-CR), and the Cancer Trials Support Unit (CTSU) affiliated with the National Cancer Institute, we also participate with pharmaceutical research companies to develop targeted therapies in the hopes to produce the best possible outcome for our patients.

Advancements in the treatment of cancer have grown immensely in recent years, thanks to everyday heroes who willingly became participants in Clinical Research Trials. Their participation has had a direct effect towards the advancement of cancer studies; providing invaluable research that could lead to saving more lives now and in the future.
Clinical trials help doctors and the companies who make cancer medicines pinpoint the most effective means to treat specific types of cancer. They consist of organized studies conducted with volunteers to provide specific answers about a new cancer treatment, or to find new ways of using established treatments.
