The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is the federal government’s principal agency for cancer research and training.

Clinical trial research is designed for a variety of different clinical objectives, ranging from disease prevention to quality of life, in both adults and children.
- Disease prevention: test new approaches to prevent diseases in people who have never had the disease or to prevent it from coming back in people who have already had the disease.
- Disease screening and detection: test new approaches to find a disease in its earliest stage, optimizing the potential success of the treatment.
- Disease treatment: test new treatments such as a new drug, new approaches to surgery or radiation therapy, new combinations of treatments or a new treatment method.
- Symptom management: test new treatment approaches to reduce the side effects from primary treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy or surgery.
- Quality of life: explore ways to define and measure the patient’s experiences during and after treatment, such as psychosocial problems, daily functioning and pain management.
