NC Cancer Hospital Continued
As part of the region’s leading public academic medical center, UNC Lineberger and the NC Cancer Hospital see providing access to leading-edge treatments through clinical trials as a key part of our mission.
The NC Cancer Hospital includes a new Early Phase Clinical Trial Unit – where patients can be closely monitored by specially-trained nurses – as well as increased space for all clinical trials.
This expanded unit is located close to the clinical laboratories and, like other areas across the hospital, includes vacuum-tube transport of lab samples to expedite lab results, enabling quicker, safer and more efficient care.
Patients may have access to promising therapies as they are first tried in humans – trials that are not offered at other cancer centers – thanks to this phase one facility and the Good Laboratory Practices facility let by Dr. William Zamboni in the Eshelman School of Pharmacy.
Pictured above is one of several indoor courtyards located throughout the new hospital.
