Patients may be interested in participating in clinical studies or learning about clinical research studies. Patients can find links to search for clinical studies here at the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and/or search for studies across the nation. We also have provided links to national registries where patients can sign up in order to be updated about current cancer clinical studies.

Registries
The Early Detection Research Network High Risk Registry Individuals who carry a genetic mutation and have a hereditary predisposition to cancer can sign up and become a member of the high risk registry. The goal of the high risk registry is to identify individuals who may want to participate in early cancer detection studies and therefore, help advance cancer prevention.
Mid-Atlantic Cancer Genetics Network The Mid-Atlantic Cancer Genetics Network's objective is to build a regional and national registry of patients with a history of cancer. The participants in the registry can volunteer for research studies and in this way, help researchers discover new ways to prevent, detect, and treat cancer.
