Reid Health
Cancer Center

A diagnosis of cancer can be scary, life changing, even intimidating. At the Reid Cancer Center our team of experts is in the fight with you.

Reid Cancer Center provides the full complement of cancer therapies, from surgery to radiation therapy to chemotherapy. You have a team behind you to help guide you through your journey, including navigators who will work with you directly.

Our physicians use the latest in cancer technology, including digital mammography and Indiana's first TruBeam system, a next-generation radiotherapy accelerator offering greater precision and shorter treatment sessions. Even newer technology is expected to be installed later this year - the new Varian Edge linear accelerator, bringing more precise targeting of tumors and other enhancements.

Clinical Trials

Reid Cancer Center is currently involved with oncology clinical trials through the Dayton Clinical Oncology Program, which is a National Cancer Institute funded-program. The following include:

  • Phase II Trials: Continues to test the safety of the drug, and begins to evaluate how well the new drug works. Usually focuses on a particular type of cancer.
  • Phase III Trials: These test a new drug, a new combination of drugs, or a new procedure in comparison to the current standard. A participant will usually be assigned to the standard group or the new group at randomization. Often enroll large numbers of people.
  • Phase IV Trials: These trials test new drugs approved by the FDA. The drug is tested in several hundreds or thousands of patients. This allows for better research on short-lived and long-lasting side effects and safety. For instance, some rare side effects may only be found in large groups of people. Doctors can also learn more about how well the drug works and if it's helpful when used with other treatments.
