Programme description
The overall goal of this residency programme is to provide a rich learning environment in all aspects of care and treatment of lung cancer. The fellow will gain knowledge and insight into management of a programme of routine clinical care alongside clinical research. The programme can also be tailored to the specific interests of the individual, depending on experience. All fellows will have the opportunity to contribute to the research portfolio with an individual project with the aim of leading to published abstracts and papers and will have an active role in the management of patients treated within clinical trials. Fellows will be based at The Christie site. The clinical trials team maintains a portfolio of trials that encompass small cell and non-small cell lung cancer, supporting the studies being conducted by the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI), Lung Clinical Studies Group, the EORTC Lung and Radiotherapy Groups, working with Pharma on industry- sponsored trials and conducting its own, investigator-initiated studies. Dedicated research clinics facilitate high patient recruitment and delivery of complex study protocols.
