If you have been diagnosed with cancer, we invite you to call us at the Office of Clinical Trials. Our treatment protocols are sponsored by the National Cancer Institute and other large cooperative cancer groups in the United States. These programs may be beneficial to you since they provide excellent comprehensive cancer care, as well as long term monitoring and follow-up. In general, participation in a trial does not increase the cost of your medical care. In most cases, the study drugs and some of required tests are provided to you free of charge.

Tumors involving bone, muscle, and soft tissue structures are rare. Each tumor has its own distinctive characteristics, which influence the course of treatment and patient outcome. Treatment is individualized by tumor classification, size, and location.
