These trials may use new drugs, new combinations of drugs, or other new treatments to see if they are safe and effective. When an oncologist develops your treatment plan, he investigates clinical trials to see if they could be a part of your plan.Putnam County Hospital Cancer Registry ProgramA system designed for the collection, management, and analysis of data on individuals diagnosed with cancer.
