Clinical Research Clinical scientists explore how advances in the understanding of fundamental biological events can be transformed into clinical trials and treatments. New and experimental forms of cancer treatment, as well as innovations in cancer diagnosis and prognosis, undergo rigorous evaluation for safety and efficacy. The knowledge gained in clinical research trials translates directly into improved patient outcomes and hopes for the future. UCSF physicians also provide staffing for San Francisco General Hospital and San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Epidemiology, Prevention and Control Programs in cancer epidemiology, and prevention and control, concentrate on the behavioral, environmental, and genetic factors that affect the risk of developing certain cancers.
Researchers also explore the effectiveness of prevention strategies in the community.
