The most advanced treatments

The close collaboration among our doctors and our research scientists means that new drugs and treatments developed in the laboratory can quickly move to the clinic, offering our patients immediate access to the latest therapies. For example, our physician-scientists are looking for a blood marker that would allow early detection of ovarian cancer. We were also instrumental in the development of the liquid Pap test.

Our clinical trials program is one of the largest in the country. UC Davis Cancer Center is an affiliate member of the Gynecology Oncology Group, offering our patients access to the newest drugs and therapies before they become widely available.
