How the Model Works
Research Network

Every cancer center in the Aptium Oncology network is also a research center, offering patients and physicians the opportunity to participate in clinical research. Every year these centers enroll hundreds of patients in industry, cooperative group, and other clinical trials-a process made simple by the master contracts that Aptium Oncology maintains.

Through the dedicated onsite and corporate research staff and access to leading physicians and researchers, the centers in Aptium Oncology's research network remain on the leading-edge. In fact, physicians from the centers have made important presentations at ASCO plenary session three of the past five years.
