Clinical Trials not offered anywhere else in our region.

Today’s clinical trials are tomorrow’s standard of cancer care.

Thompson was the first to bring cancer clinical trials to East Tennessee more than 25 years ago. Clinical trials are research studies designed to answer specific questions and find better ways to treat different types of cancer. In fact, the reason why we have seen dramatic progress in recent years and treatments are continually getting better is because there are new drugs available as a direct result of clinical trials.

James Miller poses for a photo after receiving treatment at Thompson Cancer Survival Center.

The staff here, I just can’t say enough about them. They have made a stressful situation a lot more pleasant. I’m encouraged that they have the new technology and that I’m getting to be a participant in that.

James Miller, Covenant Health Cancer Survivor

I really have always been a fighter, and with everyone being so compassionate in handling me the way they did, they made it easy to have a positive attitude.
