CLINICAL TRIALS AND RESEARCH RESOURCES
DISRUPT
Diversity & Inclusion in Scientific Research Underpinning Prevention & Therapy Trials
DISRUPT is a project that tries to address the lack of diversity in cancer clinical trials. DISRUPT is working to improve representation of Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, People of Color, people with health conditions and impairments, and LGBTQ+ persons in clinical trials by “disrupting” norms at the community, patient and provider, and research pipeline levels. DISRUPT was selected by Stand Up To Cancer (Su2C) as part of its Health Equity Initiative. The DISRUPT project is about increasing awareness of and access to information about cancer clinical trials among Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, Community Partners play a critical role in this project. There are so many ways that you can participate in a study to help save lives. You can fill out a questionnaire, taking part in focus group discussion (sharing your thoughts), having your blood drawn, involvement with the testing of vaccines, medications or medical devices .To learn more about clinical trials and research studies visit https://www.stopcancernyc.org.

CANCER SUPPORT PROGRAMS
Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (Manhattan)
The Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC) is the home for cancer research and patient care at Columbia University and NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center. Our cancer center researchers and physicians are dedicated to understanding the complex biology behind cancer, from before it begins to its evolution and spread. We apply that knowledge to the discovery and design of innovative cancer therapies and prevention strategies that reduce the disease’s incidence and progression and improve the quality of life for all those affected—in our region and throughout the world.
The Integrative Therapies Program provides personalized integrative medicine and supportive care through the patient’s course of treatment, from diagnosis through survivorship. Our licensed acupuncturists offer acupuncture, acupressure, aromatherapy, and mind-body practices to adult oncology patients. All treatments are provided in collaboration with the patient's medical team, and are free of charge.
We offer:
CancerFIT is a free weekly exercise class for cancer patients and survivors that is based on current and emerging research linking exercise to better outcomes in cancer care. The 45-minute classes are open to all who have been diagnosed with cancer regardless of treatment status, and are appropriate for all fitness levels. Each class is specifically tailored towards participants’ fitness levels and needs. Physical therapists oversee the classes, which are led by doctoral students in Columbia University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy Program.
The Cancer Genetics Program provides expert care for patients with a recent cancer diagnosis or a personal history of cancer, as well as for individuals who have a family history of cancer. Genetic testing can help identify hereditary causes of cancer. Results can be used to inform treatment decisions and options for early detection and cancer prevention for those at a heightened risk of cancer.
