Research and Innovation…To Find a Cure
To do the very best for our patients, we’re committed to staying on the leading-edge of cancer research.
At the MemorialCare Cancer Center at Orange Coast, we believe clinical trials are the front line in the battle against cancer. Our physicians offer among the best and most innovative treatment options to our patients and are involved in more than 40 of the world’s most promising research protocols.
Our approach to research centers on clinical trials that offer the hope and promise of more effective patient care, recuperation and healing. Our physicians and team of experts have developed a strong foundation that helps us educate our patients about their care and offer ways to enhance their opportunities for successful treatment. Through this collaboration, patients in our community have access to many of Orange County’s top cancer specialists with more than 30 years of clinical research experience and completion of more than 500 clinical trials.
Our physicians are constantly seeking new studies in many areas including breast, colon, gastric, kidney, ovarian, lung, pancreatic, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and prostate cancers.
The Clinical Research Department is a collaborative program with the University of California, Irvine; Saddleback Memorial Medical Center, Miller Children’s Hospital and Orange Coast Memorial Medical Center. Since the early 1970’s the Clinical Research Department has offered adult and pediatric oncology clinical trials sponsored by National Study Groups, pharmaceutical companies and physician-initiated studies.
An extensive inventory of clinical trials is maintained, allowing patients to be treated with the newest therapies without having to leave their local communities. Major areas of focus include gynecologic, breast and pediatric cancers.
Clinical Trials for breast and other women’s cancers are open for enrollment.
