Some of the most enlightening cancer research is happening today through Methodist Estabrook Cancer Center's cancer prevention programs. Clinical trials give patients the opportunity to take part in studies that enhance our understanding of different forms of cancer. Prevention trials are conducted on all forms of cancer, including breast, lung, prostate, and colorectal. All studies are strictly supervised, and participation is voluntary.

Hereditary cancer risk assessments help patients understand their potential risk for developing cancer. Those taking the assessment may or may not have a family history of cancer. Regardless of background, participants learn what steps they can take to reduce risk, prevent the onset or detect the disease early, when treatment is most effective. There is no fee for the risk-assessment questionnaire and initial consultation.
