As a part of the Jefferson Cancer Network team, the Brandywine Hospital's Cancer Program is a partner in cancer research, prevention, treatment, education, and the effort to increase enrollment in clinical trials.
Clinical trials are today's modern studies using drugs, radiation, surgery, or other therapies. Trials range from ways to prevent, detect, diagnose and treat cancer to studying the psychological impact of having cancer.
