Our Center
Clinical Trials & Research
Our research at the Pacific Neuroscience Research Center seeks to improve the understanding of neurological disease biology leading to customized patient treatments and clinical trials.
Brain Tumor Clinical Trials & Research
Brain tumors remain a major cause of cancer-related disability and death despite advances in surgery and imaging. More than 18,000 Americans develop a brain or neurologic tumor annually and the number of patients with metastatic brain tumors continues to grow. The need for brain cancer research focused on better treatments and management strategies is acute.
By combining research and clinical data, we help provide improved individually tailored therapies for patients living with malignant gliomas and other brain tumors. Equally important, we work to find patient-specific therapies that help to reduce the toxicity of treatments and improve the quality of life for patients and caregivers.
Our Integrated Neuro-oncology Research Program
Located at the Saint John’s Cancer Institute, the Pacific Neuroscience Insititute’s neuro-oncology research program helps develop more effective strategies to prevent, control, and ultimately cure brain tumors.
Clinical Research. We utilize molecular diagnostics and gene expression analysis in addition to other clinical data to personalize treatment plans for each patient. Working in conjunction with the Pacific Brain Tumor Center, we combine clinical expertise with leading-edge research to gain an in-depth understanding of each patient’s individual tumor. For our patients, this partnership between physicians and research scientists means access to superior patient care and optimized treatment. In addition, we conduct ongoing clinical trials that provide more treatment options for eligible patients.
Quality and Outcomes Research. Our research explores novel strategies to manage the most common symptoms in patients with brain cancers.
