Our mission is to provide a broad range of high-quality studies focused on the needs of our communities. The team at Bennett Cancer Center gives you the opportunity to participate in the same studies as those found at the nation’s major cancer centers, but right here at home.
Clinical trials are research studies that test new cancer drugs, treatments, diagnostic procedures and therapies on humans. Each study tries to answer scientific questions and to find better ways to prevent, diagnose, or treat cancer. These studies follow pre-defined protocols that help doctors find ways to improve health and cancer care. New therapies are tested on people only after laboratory and animal studies show promising results.
Carefully conducted clinical trials are the fastest and safest way to find treatments that work. Clinical trials are strictly monitored and carefully evaluated. Your oncologist and the highly skilled physicians at Stamford Health will help you determine if you should participate in a clinical trial.
We offer National Cancer Institute trials, pharmaceutical studies and protocols written by our very own researchers. This gives you access to many leading edge chemotherapy, biotherapy, and immunotherapy treatments. We also believe in supplying you with personalized precision medicine with studies that look at prevention and treatment based on the special, even unique, characteristics of your genes.
The Stamford Health Bennett Cancer Center is accredited by the American College of Surgeons’ Commission on Cancer as an Academic Comprehensive Cancer Program and has received the Outstanding Achievement Award in the last two survey cycles. The hospital is also a long standing member of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG).
