When it comes to advanced cancer care, clinical trials are often the most effective way to provide patients with access to novel, potentially life-saving treatments. For oncologists, keeping up with the latest research can be a challenge. That’s why we want to highlight the resources available to your patients through our cancer care program.
Patients of UAMS Baptist Health Cancer Center have access to the state’s largest cancer clinical trials network through the UAMS Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute — Arkansas’ only academic cancer research center with more than 150 scientists focused on high-incidence cancers affecting Arkansans.
With over 200 active trials, including novel immunotherapies, cellular therapies and bispecific antibodies, patients have access to cutting-edge options unavailable elsewhere in Arkansas — offering hope for those whose cancers have not responded to standard treatments. “Patients battling cancer at UAMS Baptist Health Cancer Center have the incredible opportunity to participate in clinical trials, which not only aids their treatment but also supports future patients,” said Dr. Anusha Jillella, a medical oncologist at UAMS Baptist Health Cancer Center. “The knowledge we acquire from today’s clinical trials enhances treatment options for those who will come after.”
