Newton-Wellesley Hospital and NEHO work together to provide an oncology research program to conduct the oncology trials offered at NEHO.

Dr. Caroline Block of NEHO acts as Medical Director of Oncology Research and the hospital-based team of Kara Malcolm RN (research nurse), Judy Chow (research coordinator) and Hope Violette (Office of Research Manager) provide the crucial organization and management for all of our trials.

Benefits of Newton-Wellesley Hospital and NEHO's Cancer Research Program:

• Provides access to new treatments sometimes years before they are available outside of a clinical trial.
• Provides the patient and medical team the opportunity to contribute to the advancement of science and medicine.
• Provides focus on valuable endpoints such as progression-free survival, overall survival, and quality of life.
• Allows patients to continue to receive personalized care in a private setting while still having access to the highest caliber of science and cancer treatment in the community where they live.
