Erika Hamilton: Clinical trials should be the first option in fighting cancer not the last
Erika Hamilton shared a post by Sarah Cannon Research Institute on LinkedIn, adding:
”At Sarah Cannon Research Institute, we believe clinical trials should be the first option in fighting cancer not the last. During Patient-Centered Care Awareness Month, I’m reflecting on how important it is to consider clinical trials from the very start of treatment planning.
At SCRI Oncology Partners, we ensure patients have access to these options early on, allowing them to benefit from the latest advancements in cancer care.”
Quoting Sarah Cannon Research Institute’s post:
”October is Patient-Centered Care Awareness Month. At Sarah Cannon Research Institute, patients are at the heart of everything we do. This month, we’re highlighting a few of the many voices of our dedicated physicians who play a crucial role in ensuring patients not only have access to cutting-edge advancements but also receive the personalized care they need. Swipe through to hear from Mark Fleming, Cesar Perez, Erika Hamilton, Ishwaria Subbiah and Charles Anderson, on why clinical trials are essential to delivering patient-centered care.”
