The clinical trial within Medical Oncology research are overseen by four highly experienced female medical oncologist who are passionate about finding the most appropriate form of treatment for each patient they care for. There is a team of clinical researchers who all have a background in oncology nursing and are able to provide holistic care to patients and families who are involved in clinical trials.
