Clinical Trials at Winship

Clinical trials provide patients more, and in some cases better, treatment options and the opportunity to help advance medicine. Winship is developing and leading novel clinical trials, many that are not available elsewhere. Our physicians make every effort to match patients with a clinical trial that targets their unique cancer.
