Clinical Trials at MPTC
We are dedicated to advancing scientific knowledge about the role of proton therapy in the treatment of cancer. Clinical trials allow us to discover new and more effective treatments that would improve cancer outcomes for everyone diagnosed with the disease. With more than 30 clinical trials ongoing at our center, we are hopeful that MPTC will play a vital role in the advancement of radiation oncology.
Every patient treated at MPTC has access to a clinical trial. Read on to learn more about the trials we have available:
