Phase 1 cont. This program is destined to accomplish the following noble goals:
• Area patients have now access to these trials in their backyard saving them the inconvenience of traveling a far away distance. Many cancer patients have a limited time to live. It is only right that we make such critical services available to them where they reside and live. We all owe it to our patients to give them access to state-of-the-art, cutting-edge technological advances at their disposal. They deserve that choice. It is up to us, the physicians, to ensure that patients are aware of what is available to them locally.
• Generating new jobs in the area mainly by recruiting fresh graduates from area colleges and universities. We will need additional, qualified workers--our local graduates are a resource.
• Bringing additional revenues from the rest of the U.S. and abroad. These revenues can only create additional high paying jobs for our local, qualified, graduates many of whom leave the region after completing their education.
• Adding Stark County to the Biotech corridor that currently extends from Cleveland to Akron. We, at GCC, are committed and determined to make Canton part of this crucial biotechnology corridor.
Patients with the following diagnoses potentially qualify:
• Advanced Breast cancer • Advanced Lung cancer • Advanced Colon cancer • Advanced Prostate cancer • Multiple myeloma • Non-Hodgkins lymphoma • Most other forms of cancer or leukemia
