In this week's UPMC Spotlight, we're taking a closer look at clinical trials and how they're helping patients today and in the future. In the video on this page, you'll see my discussion with Dr. Yana Najjar.
She is a Medical Oncologist at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center. She doesn't just take care of cancer patients, she helps them in clinical trials testing new treatments and drugs that are developed.

I was pleased to be in one of those trials a few years ago during my cancer fight. Without clinical trials, there's really no way to know if new drugs or treatments are working.
This is how it's done and just one of the ways UPMC has become a leader in cancer research.
UPMC has put together a special section on its website where you can browse their current clinical trials and research studies. They also have mobile apps that can help you find clinical trials. You can follow these links to find out more.
