The Center for Clinical Cancer Research (CCCR) promotes and supports all cancer research across Main Line Health. Led by Paul Gilman, MD, system chief, Division of Hematology/Oncology, Lankenau Medical Center, CCCR oversees Main Line Health's cancer clinical and non-clinical studies within LIMR.
These include:
- Novel trials of experimental therapeutics in oncology
- Drug development in partnership with pharmaceutical companies
- Investigator-initiated trials, which relate to methods, tests and drugs developed at LIMR
George Prendergast, PhD, president and CEO of LIMR, and Havens Chair for Biomedical Research Professor, is a co-director with Dr. Gilman of the LIMR Program in Cancer Research. The synergy between our laboratory programs and the clinical research activities serves as a translational conduit for the movement of lab findings into clinical investigations.
Main Line Health patients have access to state-of-the-art clinical trials and new cancer treatments before they become available to the general public, allowing them to be more active in their health care.
