Clinical
Trials
Radiation Oncology at Maine Medical Center actively
participates in clinical research through the Radiation
Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG). RTOG is a multi-institutional
cooperative organization, of which the principal objectives
include:
- A national cancer study research group funded by
NCI headquartered in Philadelphia with almost 30 years
of experience in running clinical trials;
- Comprised of 250 of the major research institutions
nationally and in Canada;
- Currently have 40+ active studies that involve radiation
therapy either alone or in conjunction with surgery
and/or chemotherapeutic drugs;
- Interested in quality of life issues and their effects
on the cancer patient.
In addition to the RTOG trials we participate in cooperative
group clinical trials with a radiation therapy component
for children and adults.
