Preparing for cancer treatment
Soon after a cancer diagnosis, a doctor will discuss treatment options with you. It is very easy to become overwhelmed during this time — you may feel like you’ve lost control of your body. One way to feel more in control is to take an active
approach to preparing for treatment. Below are four ways to feel more in control.
Clinical trials
Cancer clinical trials often compare the most accepted cancer treatment with a new type of treatment. The hope is that the new treatment will be better.
We work closely with researchers to provide high-quality cancer care. We tailor the clinical trials to the needs of the community — including quality of life trials.
Talk with your doctor or call the Salem Health clinical research department at 503-814-1435 to see if clinical trials are an option for you.
