For Researchers
A principal target of the Markey Cancer Center strategic plan is the movement of advanced treatments into the mainstream of cancer management. The MCC Clinical Research Organization facilitates this process.
The Markey Cancer Center is a full-member institute in multiple cooperative clinical trials groups of the National Cancer Institute, including:
- Alliance (Cancer and Leukemia Group B [CALGB], American College of Surgeons Oncology Group [ACOSOG], and North Central Cancer Treatment Group [NCCTG])
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)
- NRG Oncology (National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project [NSABP], the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group [RTOG], and the Gynecologic Oncology Group [GOG])
- Pediatric Oncology Group
- Southwest Oncology Group
- National Clinical Trials Network

Research Network
The Markey Cancer Center Research Network (MCCRN) is an alliance of doctors conducting clinical research studies in the prevention, early detection and treatment of cancers. The MCCRN conducts studies initiated by our own doctors and scientists as well as national studies available through the Markey Cancer Center’s membership in the National Cancer Institute’s National Clinical Trials Network.
The network provides innovative research studies, support and education for our research centers and thorough quality assurance so our studies meet the highest ethical standards.
