Our research partners

In Dalhousie’s Division of Medical Oncology, clinical trials involving both pharmaceutical and academic collaborative group sponsors are coordinated and managed through the Atlantic Clinical Cancer Research Unit (ACCRU). At any one time, ACCRU oversees 30 to 50 clinical trials spanning all disease sites. These trials not only benefit patients by providing new knowledge, they also offer direct access to new treatments that might not otherwise be available.
