Overview Cancer Care & Treatment Projects

While there have been many advances in cancer detection and treatment, more research is still needed to fill in gaps in our knowledge about optimal cancer care. Understanding how co-morbid conditions impact response to therapy, determining whether adjuvant treatments prolong survival, and assessing ways to improve accrual to cancer clinical trials are just a few of the questions the CRN is exploring.
