Understanding Cancer Research Study Design and How to Evaluate Results

Doctors and scientists conduct research studies to discover more about the biology of cancer, investigate new treatments and diagnostic tests, and learn how to prevent the disease. Depending on the questions they want to answer, researchers can design these studies in a number of ways. No study design is perfect; each has strengths and drawbacks. Therefore, it is important to understand a study's design so you can evaluate the results and know if they apply to your situation.

Understanding the Publication and Format of Cancer Research Studies

Publishing research studies is the primary way scientific professionals use to communicate their findings. They may publish original research or write a review article, which evaluates the existing body of published research on a particular topic. Well-designed research studies can help answer important questions about the biology of cancer, investigate new treatments, and identify areas for further study.

Learn More About Clinical Trials at New Mexico Cancer Center

Clinical trials play a vital role in making sure treatments are safe and effective. Not only are these trials helping those in New Mexico, but the results of these studies help patients and professionals across the globe. New Mexico Cancer Center offers cutting-edge clinical trials and therapies that are not available at other hospitals.

Clinical trials are a key part of advancing cancer treatment. They help doctors discover new and better ways to treat cancer by testing the safety and effectiveness of new drugs, therapies, or treatment approaches. Patients who take part in clinical trials may gain access to promising treatments before they’re widely available, while also helping future patients by contributing to medical research. In this video, Dr. Avitia explains how clinical trials work, why they’re important, and what patients should know when considering joining one.

 

New Mexico Cancer Center is proud to be recognized by the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) as a Radiopharmaceutical Therapy Center.
