Uniontown Hospital's UPMC Cancer CenterChemotherapy Cures Through Clinical Trials
Many times, if a cancer has spread beyond a tumor, doctors will recommend drug therapies, often referred to as chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy treats the whole body, rather than just a tumor. It's an effective way to reduce the size of tumors, and prevent the spread of the disease.
Researchers are constantly developing new drug therapies to improve results. At a certain point, the newly developed protocols are made available to patients through clinical trials. But because the research is usually initiated at large medical centers, such as UPMC, accessing these potentially life-saving trials usually means traveling.
Not any more.
Thanks to Uniontown Hospital's partnership with UPMC Cancer Centers, people in this region can access these cures, without leaving the community. Today, new protocols are being developed to treat cancers that were previously untreatable. And Uniontown Hospital patients are in a position to take advantage of that.
Uniontown Hospital's UPMC Cancer Center is located at 100 Woodlawn Avenue, Suite 100 in Uniontown. The center can be reached by calling (724) 439-8950.
