So far in 2022, our providers have referred over 400 patients for our 37 currently open trials. Of the participants enrolled, 36% are Non-Caucasian, and 46% are age 65+. These percentages are good but we strive to do better for all of our patients with cancer. @west_cancer

Of the more than 300 participants who enrolled in clinical trials @west_cancer in 2021, 35% were black. We thank you for putting your trust in us and we will continue to do our best to offer all of our patients access to state of the art trials and treatments. #CancerDisparities

More good news: thanks to our incredible research staff (>30 research specific personnel) our average study approval to open time last year was 12 weeks!! The faster we can open the studies the faster we can help answer important questions in cancer care. @west_cancer
