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
How will you I know if the study/investigational drug is working?While you are on study, your doctor and nurse practitioner will be monitoring your health carefully. This means that you may have more tests and doctor visits than you would if you were not in the study. We will be reviewing your blood work and other tests, such as x-rays and scans to monitor your progress on the study. |
