Ongoing clinical research is leading toward more effective cancer treatments and 21st Century Oncology Centers are committed to participating in that research. We are proud to be able to offer our patients state-of-art treatments through our research program.

The Centers' primary affiliation is with the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group, headquartered in Philadelphia and affiliated with a number of major universities. This organization, with funding from the National Cancer Institute, addresses such questions as how to determine the best dosage and forms of radiation therapy as well as how best to combine radiation therapy with other treatment modalities.

Patient participation in research is completely voluntary and may be discontinued at any time. Eligible patients are never included without full disclosure and voluntary approval. If you are interested in learning more about the research studies we have available, please ask your doctor or nurse or call the patient information hot line (1-888-326-XRAY ).
