Henry Ford Cancer offers a large number of clinical trials, which can offer new or developing treatments to patients before they are widely available. They also provide the opportunity to advance medical knowledge, prevent diseases and increase quality of life.

Henry Ford researchers place a strong emphasis on clinical research. That means that most of our work investigates how research questions affect patient care directly. However, our oncology researchers also conduct lab or bench research (studies performed in the laboratory, sometimes at the cellular level), investigating new treatments or cell behaviors.
