The National Cancer Institute Minority/Underserved Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP-MU) is a network of 14 NCORP-MUs in the United States — including MUSC — with the common goal of bringing cancer clinical trials to patients in their own communities and reducing disparities in access to quality care based on regional or socioeconomic status. MUSC’s NCORP-MU program is comprised of seven high-quality cancer centers across South Carolina.

The national NCORP network designs and conducts clinical trials in the areas of treatment, cancer prevention, supportive care and symptom management, health-related quality of life, and research into the delivery of cancer services.

I get to take good care of patients close to home, and I can collaborate and learn from subspecialists at academic centers and bring that care to my patients.
