Cancer Research Institute
Scott & White enhances the quality of care through progressive research using the latest technologies, novel therapies and new drug advances. Cancer research is made possible through the conduct of more than 150 clinical trials, as well as important basic research. Clinical trials are scientific studies in people that determine the dosing, safety and efficacy of investigational agents. These agents include new drugs, new drug combinations, and investigational devices, which are tested for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. These studies allow physician researchers to test whether the investigational agent is comparable to the standard of care. By participating in a clinical trial, patients may help in the development of new treatment modalities for the present and the future.
At the Scott & White Center for Cancer Prevention and Care, the areas of research include cooperative group trials; industry-sponsored and investigator-initiated trials; and basic laboratory research.
