Georgia CORE GOG Consortium now a main member of NRG Oncology

1/10/2014

This Spring, the Georgia CORE Gynecological Oncology Group Consortium will officially become a member of NRG Oncology. NRG Oncology builds upon more than 150 years of cumulative research experience to conduct practice defining, multi-institutional clinical trials resulting in the improved survival and quality of life of patients with cancer. It brings together the unique and complementary research areas of the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project, the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group, and the international Gynecologic Oncology Group.

“The Georgia CORE GOG Consortium has made impressive strides in accrual rates, so it only makes sense for us to transition to NRG Oncology so that our oncologists can help to more broadly dissemenate study results,” said Georgia CORE president & CEO Nancy Paris.

In addition to the Georgia CORE GOG, DeKalb Medical, Emory University, and Lewis Cancer & Research Pavilion at St. Joseph’s/Candler are main members of NRG Oncology.
