Clinical Research & Clinical Trials

Clinical research in oncology

Oncology is the study of tumours. Integrative oncology addresses the brain, body, and soul. That is why countless professionals, including medical specialists, have embraced the rapidly expanding field of integrative oncology, which combines the best of conventional and alternative therapies. Clinical trials in oncology have evolved to include phase I dosefinding trials, phase II studies to establish efficacy in a single tumour type, phase III trials comparing standards of care with potential advances in care, and phase IV studies to extend safety and activity data in a postmarketing scenario. Immuno-oncology treatments strengthen our immune system, allowing it to detect and eliminate cancer cells. Because cancer cells are not like other cells in the body, the immune system fights them when it recognises them. Neuro-oncology evaluates and treats patients with essential and optional cancers of the brain, spinal cord, and the layers surrounding the brain and spinal cord (meninges).
