Appendix cancer clinical trials are important research studies that provide patients with opportunities to access cutting-edge treatments very soon after those treatments are discovered. In carefully controlled settings, researchers analyze the effectiveness of these promising new treatments as compared to the current standard of care. The goal is to find new treatments that are more effective, or equally effective with fewer side effects, than the currently available options. Clinical trials are essential pathways that lead to advances in appendix cancer treatment, as well as provide a source of hope, for all patients who are diagnosed with this very rare form of cancer.

When participating in appendix cancer clinical trials, patients can benefit from highly innovative therapies, such as:

  • New surgical techniques
  • New chemotherapy drugs and drug combinations
  • New radiation delivery techniques

Because appendix cancer is so rare, it can sometimes be difficult for patients to find clinical trials.

Our extensive research efforts and groundbreaking discoveries are highly acclaimed; as a result, we’ve earned a Comprehensive Cancer Center designation from the National Cancer Institute.
