Getting the most advanced cancer treatment to patients requires that cancer doctors do two things: support the process that develops these treatments, and give their patients access to these trial-phase treatments.
However, only one in five U.S. oncologists participates in the NCORP – the National Cancer Institute’s pipeline that delivers clinical trials from the academic centers to the community cancer clinics – and it’s easy to understand why: it’s lot of grant-writing, administrative work, and staying informed enough to match patients to trials that might help them.
But if you’re dedicated, you make time for the important things – and Green Bay Oncology physicians are dedicated to clinical research.
Though only a minority of NCORP physicians get recognized for excellence in patient enrollments, this year five Green Bay Oncology physicians received this honor:
● Dr. Brian Burnette – Gold Certificate
● Dr. Sigurdur Bodvarsson – Silver Certificate
● Dr. Anthony Jaslowski – Silver Certificate
● Dr. Matthew Ryan – Silver Certificate
● Dr. Ruth Warren – Silver Certificate
Recognition is nice, but doing the right thing for people facing cancer is even better – and that’s why our physicians keep at it.
It’s the right thing to do.
