Researchers & Clinicians

Refer Your Patient to a Clinical Trial

A clinical trial does not have to be a patient’s last resort — patients can participate in a clinical trial at any point along their cancer journey.  Whether your patient has just been diagnosed with cancer or has already tried multiple types of treatment, they may want to participate in a clinical trial. 

At the University of Illinois Cancer Center, we encourage providers to frequently look for cancer clinical trials that may benefit their patients.

Following a Patient’s Progress

When a patient begins a clinical trial, they may sign a release allowing the researchers to keep their provider informed along the way. If they do sign, the researchers will keep you informed of your patient’s status throughout the trial.
