50+ YEARS OF PROGRESS.  YEARS OF PROGRESS.

With Virginia Cancer Specialists committed to providing the best available care to all of its patients, research is and will continue to be the cornerstone of our practice. Our research offers patients access to new investigational drugs not always available to the general public.

Since 1997, The Virginia Cancer Specialists Research Institute has enrolled more than 3,400 patients in clinical trials for breast, brain, lung, blood, and other cancers. These trials have brought investigational therapies once only available at major academic institutions to patients with cancer in our community.

At any given time, the Institute has approximately 200 actively accruing clinical trials, stemming from Phase 1-3. We have a clinical trial for nearly every type of cancer and every mutation.

We proudly host both early-phase (phase 1) studies and later-stage trials through our Research Institute and a joint venture with NEXT Oncology, with more than 150 employees devoted to that work and 440 patients enrolled in 2023, alone. The two programs comprise the largest, most comprehensive oncology research program in the Mid-Atlantic Region, with patients coming to our Research Institute from across the U.S, Europe, and South America.
