Liver Cancer Research and Clinical Trials

Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, our patients with liver cancer have access to more clinical trials than anywhere else.

Researching Liver Cancer Developing Novel Therapies at Winship

At Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, Georgia's only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, our researchers lead the charge in finding the smartest and most effective ways to treat liver cancer.

And our medical care teams put those novel treatments into practice every day with our patients, whether it’s through implementing new therapies or matching patients with one of our many clinical trials.

The Importance of Liver Cancer Research

Liver cancer research is critical to cancer care. Discoveries in the lab, and their implementation in the clinic, help investigators find ways to:

  • Prevent liver cancer earlier.
  • Screen more thoroughly for liver cancer.
  • Diagnose liver cancer with better precision.
  • Treat liver cancer effectively while also minimizing side effects.
  • Increase survival rates for liver cancer.
  • Decrease recurrence rates for liver cancer.

At Winship, our research isn’t only about discovery. It’s about using what we discover — from new procedures to advanced technologies — to deliver the results right to you, the patient. It’s complete cancer care backed by the latest research.

Liver Cancer Clinical Trials

As a Winship patient with liver cancer, you might be eligible to participate in a clinical trial. Your medical care team can match you with a clinical trial that may fit your diagnosis.

Participating in Liver Cancer Research

Most clinical trials act as an add-on to your standard therapy, so you don’t have to choose one treatment or therapy over another. And though our trials are based in Atlanta, we welcome participants from all over the state and the Southeast.

Support for Clinical Trial Participation

Winship conducts liver cancer research at the following locations:

If you think that joining a clinical trial at Winship might be right for you, talk to your doctors about how to participate.
