Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are research studies that involve people, and many of the treatments used today are the direct result of past clinical trials. Although research is essential to the development of new cancer drugs and therapies, only five percent of adult cancer patients will participate in clinical trials.

Wayne HealthCare has joined the Dayton Clinical Oncology Program (DCOP) which is a non-profit organization funded by the National Cancer Institute. DCOP is a consortium of hospitals in Ohio and Indiana that provide cancer patients the opportunity to participate in national clinical trials. Through our involvement with the DCOP, we are able to provide another treatment option for all Darke County cancer patients by giving them access to these national clinical trials that offer new treatments, without leaving their home.

Ask your Oncologist (cancer doctor) about a clinical trial.
