Site Overview
The Cancer Trials Unit of the Princess Alexandra Hospital is dedicated to providing a high quality service for the delivery of clinical research treatments for patients with cancer. The research conducted explores questions of optimal drug use; novel combination chemotherapies; targeted therapies; radiation therapy; new diagnostic tests; prognostic indices; best supportive care; molecular predictors of response and cost effectiveness. The aims of the Cancer Trials Unit are to offer patients with cancer access to new treatments or treatments that would be otherwise unavailable to them; and to contribute answers to important scientific questions to the cancer care community.
