| Dayton Clinical Oncology Program's History |
| |
In the early 1980's, the Federal Government found that over 85% of cancer patients were being treated in their local communities rather than at large cancer treatment centers. They initiated funding for the Community Clinical Oncology Program through the National Cancer Institute (NCI), one of the branches of the National Institutes of Health. DCOP, incorporated in 1982, became one of the initial members of the Community Clinical Oncology Program. Today we continue to offer NCI funded clinical trials, as well as pharmaceutical industry funded clinical trials in cancer. |

|
|
| What is a clinical trial? |
| |
Clinical trials are the final stages of a long and careful cancer research process. Through clinical trials we hope to find better ways to prevent or treat cancer. Clinical trials test new approaches to surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Every treatment that is considered standard treatment today was established because patients entered clinical trials. |

|
| How can I become involved in a clinical trial? |
| |
If you are interested in a clinical trial or would like more information about a clinical trial, speak with your oncologist, surgeon, family practice physician, or contact Dayton Clinical Oncology Program and we will be glad to assist you. |
