Cancer research and clinical trials
In the Cancer Program at The Ottawa Hospital, we believe that research is care and should be integrated into everything we do. Research can provide patients with access to new therapies when conventional treatments have stopped working. Participating in research also allows patients to play a more active role in their care and contribute to better care for everyone.
