Cancer Care

Clinical Trials

You'll be glad to know that Ingalls is affiliated with more cancer research programs and clinical trials than any other cancer program in the south suburbs. That means our patients can participate in the same cancer research being conducted at large university hospitals - without having to travel far from home.

Ready access to clinical trials is an opportunity for patients to receive new, potentially more effective therapies, including medications not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Because Ingalls is recognized as a leader in cancer research, we are now able to offer our patients Phase I clinical trials in addition to Phase II and III trials. In fact, Ingalls was a lead institution on a Phase I study with the latest oral targeted therapy for first-line treatment of metastatic breast cancer. Typically, Phase I and II clinical studies are available only at academic medical centers.
