Investigational Drug Study For Patients With Rhabdomyosarcoma
Seeking male & female patients who have been diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma (cancer that forms in the soft tissues, such as muscle).
Clinical researchers at the UMass Cancer Center are actively engaged in cutting-edge clinical research trials, both at the local and national levels, to evaluate new chemotherapy treatment options for a variety of cancers, improve surgical procedures for quality and outcomes improvement, and identify novel markers for diagnostic and prognostic predictors of outcome. We perform collaborative translational research, which focuses on iterative feedback loops between the basic science and clinical research domains to accelerate knowledge translation from the bedside to the bench, and back again.
