Clinical trials are research studies that have been carefully designed to answer questions about new ways to prevent cancer, treat cancer, manage side effects of treatment, and improve quality of life.
The Hall-Perrine Cancer Center participates in national clinical trials through the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and national and international studies through the pharmaceutical industry. These types of clinical trials are leading to major breakthroughs in cancer treatment in our own community.
Through the Iowa-Wide Oncology Research Coalition (I-WORC), Oncology Associates at Mercy Medical Center actively participates in more than 40 clinical trials at any given time. This allows a great number of patients access to trials based on the cancer and stage of cancer.
