NCI-VA Initiative
ECOG participates in the NCI/VA joint initiative to expand
veteran's access to cancer clinical trials
An agreement between the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the
National Cancer Institute (NCI) paves the way for more NCI clinical
trials to be available at VA facilities across the country. In
selected cases, the VA also will pay the medical care costs of
veterans who enroll in NCI trials at non-VA facilities. Prevention,
diagnostic, and treatment trials are included. More information is
available in the press release and other links below.
