As the official Twitter account for the research department of West Cancer Center & Research Institute we will start the new year with good news from last year. Despite Covid, thanks to our staff PIs, and patients, we were still able to open 22 new prospective studies in 2021! Kudos most to our patients🙏

More good news: thanks to our incredible research staff (>30 research specific personnel) our average study approval to open time last year was 12 weeks!! The faster we can open the studies the faster we can help answer important questions in cancer care. West Cancer Center & Research Institute

Nationally, only 1 in 5 participants in trials of cancer treatments are non-white. At West Cancer Center & Research Institute, that number is doubled to 2 in 5. We are dismantling disparities, one patient and family at a time. I. Love. My. City. #healthcare #quality #cancer #research

So far in 2022, our providers have referred over 400 patients for our 37 currently open trials. Of the participants enrolled, 36% are Non-Caucasian, and 46% are age 65+. These percentages are good but we strive to do better for all of our patients with cancer. West Cancer Center & Research Institute
