The Oncology Institute of Hope and Innovation Blaze Trail in Clinical Trials in Montebello
With multiple clinical trials in progress at the Oncology Institute of Hope and Innovation, new doors are being opened in the fields of oncology and hematology.
- Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) October 28, 2011 - "Results are promising and tangible," noted Dr. Ravin Rupani, one of The Institute's many talented oncologists. "By participating in these studies, patients are given the chance to undergo treatment with the most cutting edge technologies and pharmaceuticals, potentially leading to medical breakthroughs." Among the multiple studies underway at the moment are clinical trials ranging from breast and colon cancer to chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Clinical trials are not only available at The Oncology Institute of Hope and Innovation's Montebello location; with 8 centers throughout Southern California, patients have the opportunity to remain closer to home, yet still participate in studies.
The ability to receive clinical trials at not just the Montebello location is a vital part of The Institute's mission in medicine. The Oncology Institute of Hope and Innovation believes patients should not have to drive miles upon miles in order to receive the most advanced care. By having access to these groundbreaking studies in their own communities, patients can rest easier knowing that they are still close to their family, friends and homes. "The participation of family in the healing process is just as important as the treatments themselves," says Dr. Eric Cheung, an oncologist for The Institute. "Without their presence and support, the road to recovery becomes that much more difficult."
The Oncology Institute of Hope and Innovation's focus on patient care can easily be seen as The Institute was the recent winner of the Hope Award for Practice Excellence in Patient care for 2010. With a strong emphasis on patients' quality of life, The Institute places focus on education and empowerment. "When you educate your patients, you give them the tools they need to overcome some of the fear they face in this difficult battle," explains Dr. Richy Agajanian, founder of The Institute. "When you explain the unknown, you reveal the hope."
