Clinical Trials
New York Gynecology Surgery (NYGS) Doctors are leaders in the field of Gynecology, Surgery and Oncology
NYGS is proud to be at the forefront of oncology, recognizing that clinical trials are a crucial part of discovering novel therapies, surgical interventions, and detecting, preventing, or treating emerging illnesses.
Importance of Clinical Trials in Gynecology
Clinical trials are of great importance in gynecology for several reasons:
- Evaluating the safety and efficacy of new treatments: Clinical trials are designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of new treatments, procedures, and medications. This is particularly important in gynecology, where many conditions are unique to women and require specialized treatments.
- Advancing medical knowledge: Clinical trials help to advance medical knowledge and understanding of gynecological conditions, leading to improved diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes for patients.
- Improving patient care: Clinical trials can lead to the development of new treatments and procedures that can improve patient care and quality of life, particularly for those with hard-to-treat or rare gynecological conditions.
- Providing access to new treatments: Clinical trials provide patients with access to new and innovative treatments that are not yet widely available. This can be particularly beneficial for patients who have exhausted other treatment options or have limited access to healthcare.
- Regulatory approval: Clinical trials are a necessary step in obtaining regulatory approval for new treatments and medications, ensuring that they are safe and effective for use in the general population.
- Personalized medicine: Clinical trials in gynecology can also contribute to the development of personalized medicine, tailoring treatment options to individual patients based on their unique genetic and molecular profiles.
Overall, clinical trials are a critical component of gynecological research, helping to drive innovation and improve patient outcomes in this important field of medicine.
Importance of Clinical Trials in Oncology
Clinical trials play a crucial role in oncology, as they are essential for developing new cancer treatments, improving existing therapies, and ultimately improving patient outcomes.
Here are some reasons why clinical trials are important in oncology:
- Testing new treatments: Clinical trials are designed to test new cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies. These treatments are rigorously tested for their safety and effectiveness before they can be approved for widespread use.
- Improving existing treatments: Clinical trials also help researchers identify ways to improve existing cancer treatments, such as by combining different therapies or using them in different sequences. This can lead to better outcomes for patients.
- Personalized medicine: Clinical trials are important for developing personalized medicine approaches, where treatments are tailored to individual patients based on their genetic makeup or other factors. This can improve treatment outcomes and reduce side effects.
- Access to cutting-edge treatments: Patients who participate in clinical trials often have access to cutting-edge treatments that may not be available outside of the trial. This can provide patients with new treatment options and hope for better outcomes.
- Contributing to scientific knowledge: Clinical trials also contribute to scientific knowledge about cancer and how it can be treated. This knowledge can help researchers develop new treatments and improve patient care.
Overall, clinical trials are essential for advancing our understanding of cancer and developing new treatments that can improve patient outcomes.
Importance of Clinical Trials in the Field of Surgery
Clinical trials are critical in surgery because they help to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of new surgical techniques, procedures, and devices. Clinical trials play a key role in advancing surgical research, improving patient outcomes, and enhancing the quality of surgical care.
Here are some of the reasons why clinical trials are important in surgery:
- Developing new surgical techniques: Clinical trials can help to evaluate the safety and efficacy of new surgical techniques. By conducting clinical trials, researchers can determine which techniques are effective and safe for patients, and which ones need further improvement.
- Evaluating new surgical devices: Clinical trials can also help to evaluate new surgical devices, such as surgical instruments, implants, and prostheses. These devices need to be tested in clinical trials to ensure that they are safe and effective for patients.
- Improving patient outcomes: Clinical trials can help to improve patient outcomes by identifying the most effective surgical treatments for specific conditions. By conducting clinical trials, researchers can compare different surgical treatments and determine which one provides the best results.
- Ensuring patient safety: Clinical trials are conducted in a controlled environment with strict safety protocols to ensure that patients are not put at risk. This helps to ensure that new surgical techniques, procedures, and devices are safe for patients.
- Establishing standards of care: Clinical trials can also help to establish standards of care for surgical procedures. By conducting clinical trials, researchers can determine the best practices for surgical care, which can help to improve the quality of surgical care and ensure that patients receive the best possible outcomes.
In summary, clinical trials are essential for advancing surgical research, improving patient outcomes, and enhancing the quality of surgical care. Clinical trials are critical in evaluating new surgical techniques, devices, and procedures, ensuring patient safety, and establishing standards of care for surgical procedures.

Our Clinical Trials
Bupropion in Reducing Cancer Related Fatigue in Stage I-III Breast Cancer Survivors
Status: Active
Protocol Title: URCC-18007
This phase III trial studies how well bupropion works in reducing cancer related fatigue in stage I-III breast cancer survivors. Bupropion is a drug that is used to treat depression, as well as to help people quit smoking. Cancer and its treatment can cause fatigue. Giving bupropion may improve cancer related fatigue in breast cancer survivors.
