Clinical Trials Research

Updated September 2010

The way to a better future.


Your experiences and views are important and during your visits to the BC Cancer Agency, Centre for the Southern Interior you may be asked to take part in one of our research studies. This request can raise many questions, so before you make your decision, feel free to discuss your concerns with any member of your care team. Partaking in a research project is entirely voluntary, and there will be no pressure or expectation put on you to participate.

Our professionals study new or improved cancer treatments, as well as ways to prevent and detect cancer. We are also interested in exploring the perceptions and experiences of our patients. These studies, called clinical trials, are an important part of our activity. Through these studies we hope to continuously learn how to provide better services for all patients in British Columbia.
