The major medical centers where clinical trials have historically been located aren’t accessible to all patients, which is why community-based clinical trials are growing in popularity. https://t.co/4egjog13NO #cancer#cancerclinicaltrial#communitysite#NCORP
In this video, researchers in the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) describe how the program brings oncology clinical trials into communities. https://t.co/KWy47R4W1o #cancer#clinicaltrialtuesday#cancerresesearch#NCORP#NCI
By bringing cancer research studies to individuals in their communities, #NCORP research is able to reflect a wide selection of patients, adding to improved patient outcomes. #cancerresearch#cancerclinicaltrial
The 1993 NIH Revitalization put into law an NIH policy of including all people in clinical research. Among other things, it ensured that these groups would be included in all human subject research moving forward. #cancer#NIH#cancerclinicaltrial#NCORP
Clinical management of male breast cancer is generally based on clinical experience & data from others with the disease. The FDA now recommends inclusion of both sexes in clinical trials of breast cancer drugs. #clinicaltrialtuesday#cancer#research#NCORP#mbcalliance
NCORP incorporates the needs of multiple populations (children, adolescents, young adults, the elderly, Hispanics and rural residents) into cancer studies and takes steps to increase participation of these groups. #NCORP#fridayfacts
The primary goal of SCOR is to bring NCI clinical trials & Cancer Care Delivery Research to communities in a 6 state area across the Southeast. SCOR member sites in these states include small community hospitals, hospital systems and private practices. #fridayfacts#NCORP#NCI
Cancer affects all populations in the US, but some groups may bear a disproportionate burden. At Minority/Underserved NCORP sites, these individuals can take part in clinical studies within their own communities. https://t.co/zmgRboaFwi
NCORP provides cancer patients the ability to participate in clinical trials in their own communities. It addresses questions involving more prevalent cancer related problems that unduly affect populations that are traditionally less medically treated. #fridayfacts#NCORP#NCI
Did you know about 25% of cancer clinical trial participants from all NCORP sites are from traditionally less treated populations? #clinicaltrialtuesday#NCORP#NCI

SCOR communities are unique and include over 16 million individuals with significant ethnic, rural and medically underrepresented populations. Research in community settings such as these reflects the complexity of cancer care delivery. #fridayfacts#NCORP#NCI
Did you know that there are clinical trials available for patients in all stages of breast cancer? They look at prevention, screening, quality of life and how treatments can be applied, among other things. #mythmonday#cancerclinicaltrial#breastcancer#breastcancerawareness
By bringing cancer clinical research studies to individuals in their own communities, NCORP research includes all people, so the evidence generated contributes to improved patient outcomes and a reduction in cancer disparities for all people. #NCORP#NCI#cancerclinicaltrial
Did you know that randomization is the process by which treatments are assigned to clinical trial participants by chance rather than by choice to avoid any issues that may arise by assigning volunteers to get one treatment or another? #fridayfacts#NCORP#randomization
Did you know that every clinical trial has eligibility criteria and you must meet these specific requirements to be considered for participation? #fridayfacts https://t.co/x1dhEQrL4t
NCORP is a national network that brings cancer prevention clinical trials and cancer care delivery research (CCDR) to people in their communities. SCOR is one of 46 NCORP sites in the US and includes over 100 community hospitals and clinics in 6 states. #wednesdaywisdom
