The benefits and challenges of conducting clinical trials
International Oncology Network, Baltimore, MD
This is the first in a series of articles Community Oncology will publish about conducting clinical trials in your community-based oncology practice. No matter what stage you are at—whether you are just thinking of dipping your toe into this revenue stream, or you are looking for ways to better manage your trials already under way—this series will provide practical information to help you more effectively care for patients and more efficiently run the business end of your research program. In this first article of the series the author weighs the benefits versus the potential difficulties of running clinical trials—an enterprise not to be taken lightly.
