Patients who
participate in cancer clinical trials receive the highest standard of care –
regardless of the type or stage of cancer they have. Many of our leading-edge clinical trials are done in cooperation with other
institutions nationwide, offering us a clear picture of the most effective
drugs.
Our doctors meet
regularly to discuss new research developments. The close relationship between
researchers and clinicians means that the latest research findings are
translated into new treatment approaches as quickly as possible.
Doctors at UT
Southwestern Medical Center have developed and are running several national
clinical trials treating the most aggressive thyroid cancers. These studies
involve strategies such as targeting genetic mutations in the cancer or using
the immune system to destroy cancer cells.
Our thyroid cancer
specialists can help patients determine if they are eligible to participate in
a clinical trial related to their condition.
