Cancer Research Studies
We are driven to give access to the best cancer care available. This ensures that our programs are on the forefront of cancer research and breakthrough medicine.
Elevating cancer research and care.
Cancer research has come a long way over the past few decades. As the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in Western NC – and one of just 57 across the country – Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center helps fuel our innovation.
Our world-renowned physicians are leading the way in cancer research. The breakthroughs and the improved cancer treatments we have pioneered as part of Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute and Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center have increased the number of cancer survivors in the U.S. and improved quality of life in countless patients.
Today, aligned under one unifying name – Atrium Health Levine Cancer – we’ve expanded our clinical research program, conducting hundreds of clinical trials every year with the goal of finding new and better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer.
Why you should enroll in a research study
- Study volunteers enrolled in a clinical study receive an extra layer of medical care with frequent follow up and progress assessments
- Study volunteers participating in clinical trials may achieve better outcomes than those not enrolled in a study
- Access to the latest treatments long before they may become widely available
- As a result of your own experience or that of a loved one, you may want to shape the future of health care for yourself and others
