Research

Oncology research is an integrated component of oncology care services. We offer unique, cutting-edge trials for a wide variety of cancer types, to better support our Veteran patients. We provide access to many treatment and observational trials in coordination with groups including National Cancer Institute, the VA Cooperative Studies Program, the National Association of Veterans' Research and Education Foundations, as well as offering investigator-initiated studies and industry-sponsored trials. Our goal is to offer an opportunity to participate in high-quality clinical trials to as many patients as possible. We currently have a large suite of trials that address solid tumor and hematologic malignancies.
