Clinical Research

At any time, there may be more than 300 clinical trials taking place at USC/Norris. These investigational therapies offer additional hope to those whose cancer is in late stages or difficult to manage.

Clinical trials most often focus on improving diagnostic tools or treatment options - including evaluating new surgical methods, chemotherapy agents, radiation techniques, hormone treatments and testing personally-tailored therapies and novel combinations of these treatment options.
