PAMF Cancer Clinical Trials and Research

Research programs give you the chance to take part in scientific efforts aimed at finding new and better ways to treat cancer. Palo Alto Medical Foundation participates in cancer research and offers clinical trials to look at ways to prevent, detect or treat cancer.

Investing in Cancer Research

You can play a vital role in advancing medical knowledge that could benefit millions of people. Clinical trials offer you a chance to contribute to the future of cancer medicine—and potentially benefit your own health.

Clinical trials, often called clinical or research studies, are the front lines of cancer science. By investigating new drugs, devices and therapies, medical researchers discover better ways to treat this pervasive and varied disease. Indeed, most of today’s standard cancer treatments got their start in clinical trials.

PAMF participates in numerous clinical trials. Most of the trials are conducted by the National Cancer Institute or major pharmaceutical companies. We strongly believe in teamwork and communication, which allows us to coordinate the care we give across multiple medical disciplines. Our staff includes principal investigators and oncologists supported by a highly trained research team consisting of registered nurses, research coordinators and ancillary supporting staff. Our program is in partnership with the Palo Alto Medical Foundation Research Institute.

For more information about PAMF's cancer clinical trials:

Call the Oncology Department - (408) 730-2800 (ask to talk to research staff) or email the Research staff: clinicaltrials@pamf.org.
