The Cancer Care Institute conducts clinical trials (research studies) with patients to prevent, detect, diagnose, and treat cancers and to study the psychological impact of cancer, which helps improve patient comfort and quality of life.

Patients who take part in clinical trials have a unique opportunity to receive the most advanced care available — either with a new treatment or with the best standard therapy.

If you are interested in cancer care clinical trials, call 605-755-2370 or speak with your physician.
