Our cancer database
In addition to the clinical trials we

maintains a cancer database to aid in our research efforts. Our
cancer database is a cancer information center that contains details
about new cancer cases and cancer treatment. We gather this
information from our existing patients so we can continuously keep
track and gauge the effectiveness of our treatments.
