HOA is dedicated to finding new and more effective treatments for cancer through clinical research. Since 1986, HOA has participated in the National Cancer Institute Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP). We are one of only 50 such participants in the United States. Our patients therefore can benefit from clinical trials of state-of-the-art cancer treatments that are unavailable anywhere else in upstate NY. (The closest CCOP participants are located in Long Island and Pennsylvania.) |
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the costs?Health insurance and managed care providers do not always cover all patient care costs in a study. What they cover varies by plan and by study. If you are involved in a study with investigational drugs, those drugs are usually supplied through the study. Any procedure related solely to the research study will be explained to you by your physician. |
