Cancer Research and Clinical Trials

Our clinical cancer research is uncovering new knowledge and methods that can help more people achieve excellent outcomes. You may be eligible to participate through clinical trials.

Cancer Clinical Trials

You may be eligible to participate in cancer research at UMass Memorial through clinical trials. Participation is voluntary. If you qualify, we explain the risks and benefits of taking part in the study. Participation may involve a few additional clinic visits. But you may be able to receive innovative services that wouldn’t otherwise be available.

If you want to know more, ask your care team about clinical trial opportunities. You can also explore our open cancer research studies.
