The Hyundai Cancer Institute at CHOC Children's, a member of the Children’s Oncology Group, provides patients with access to state-of-the-art clinical research trials. A clinical trial is a research study that aims to determine the most effective treatment for a particular disease. Each trial is a result of a very detailed study of factors associated with the most current standard treatment and variables that may lead to an improvement in survival rates or a reduction in side effects or late effects of treatment.
Through our Childrens Oncology Group (COG) membership, the Hyundai Cancer Institute at CHOC Children's received a prestigious Phase I clinical trial designation, making us one of only 22 facilities in North America offering COG's groundbreaking alternative treatments.
