Exploring therapies with clinical trials research
At Kaiser Permanente, clinical trials play a vital role in advancing cancer treatment 3. We’re one of only 46 National Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) sites that take part in clinical trials and research studies with the National Cancer Institute 4, Research trials help our doctors explore and test new cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, medication, surgery, and radiation, as well as prevention, screening, and managing symptoms. Your doctor will review your electronic health record and treatment history to see if there’s a trial that’s right for you.
Jessica is a Cancer Survivor
Jessica (38) was pregnant when diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. Her treatment consisted of chemotherapy followed by surgery and radiation. Jessica delivered her baby first and then started chemotherapy. She then underwent surgery, radiation, and additional chemotherapy.
Matthew is a Cancer Survivor
Mathew was an avid high school volleyball player who presented at age 16 with recurrent headaches and was found to have obstructive hydrocephalus due to a large brain tumor. His treatment consisted of surgery followed by chemotherapy and radiation. Because Mathew missed his own high school graduation due to his chemotherapy, our Orange County cancer care team organized a graduation ceremony for him.
