Research Regulatory Affairs Coordinator

Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada (CCCN) is dedicated to advancing cancer care by leading and participating in many clinical research studies in Nevada that test the safety and efficiency of new or modified treatments in cancer patients. These trials are important because they help uncover new treatment options and give many of our patients the opportunity to receive newly developed treatments or investigational drugs not yet available outside the study.

CCCN develops and conducts more than 170 Phase I, Phase II and Phase III clinical research trials each year including genitourinary and gastrointestinal cancer treatments, radiation clinical trials, breast cancer and skin cancer. Motivated, caring professionals are encouraged to join us.
