Our practice includes a full range of specialists, including our Houston urologists, radiologists, pathologists and radiation pathologists. We also employ research coordinators in our clinical research center to help patients who qualify to participate in research trials.
Research trials provide patients and physicians with valuable opportunities
Clinical trials help our physicians and researchers learn more about a variety of urologic conditions, treatments and medications. Here are some of the ways studies advance the field of urology.
- Helps urologists learn more about disease prevention
- Helps learn more about managing and treating conditions
- Allows researchers to study the effectiveness and side effects of new treatments
Patients who choose to participate in clinical trials are always volunteers. Our team encourages patients to ask our Houston urologists and the staff at our clinical research center about open clinical trials. Here are some of the benefits patients receive from participating in clinical studies.
- Provides access to the latest treatments before they are widely available to the general public
- Expert medical professionals closely monitor patients’ conditions
- Helping improve medical knowledge to benefit themselves and others
- Patients may be compensated for their time and reimbursed for extra services
