National Leadership in Clinical Trials
As one of a select group of Lead Academic Participating Sites (LAPS) in the National Clinical Trials Network, our investigators help lead the studies that establish new standards of cancer care. This distinction recognizes exceptional scientific leadership, clinical research expertise and the ability to bring groundbreaking clinical trials to patients.
Dedicated Translational Research Units
The Froedtert & MCW Cancer Network is one of only a few cancer care networks in the nation with two dedicated cancer translational research units, including Wisconsin’s only inpatient unit. These specialized units are designed to safely conduct early-phase clinical trials, bringing research and patient care together in a setting built specifically for innovative cancer studies.
How Clinical Trials Advance Cancer Care
Every breakthrough in cancer care starts with a clinical trial. Clinical trials help researchers determine whether new approaches are safe and effective, improve existing treatments, and identify better ways to prevent, detect, and treat cancer. By participating, eligible patients contribute to discoveries that may benefit future generations while receiving expert care throughout the process.
Participation in a clinical trial is always voluntary. If you qualify, your care team will help you understand the study so you can decide whether it’s right for you.
