Radiation Oncology Clinical Research & Trial Center (RORC)

 

Core Summary

Radiation Oncology Clinical Research & Trials Center (RORC) operates as a specialized clinical research unit with a contract research organization–style model. Staffed by a dedicated team of seven professionals, RORC supports the design, coordination, and execution of oncology trials while delivering high-quality patient care.

RORC partners with radiation oncology providers, pharmaceutical, and medical technology companies to provide end-to-end clinical trial services. By managing patient recruitment, treatment coordination, data collection, regulatory compliance, and quality oversight, the center allows investigators to focus on research free from operational burdens.

Our “Radiotherapy-Plus” approach combines radiation therapy with novel treatments—including immunotherapy, chemotherapy, radioligands, and novel surgical interventions, across all disease specialties, enabling safe and efficient execution of multi-disciplinary trials.

Our mission is to accelerate and promote oncology research by delivering high-quality, more cost-effective, and reliable patient-centered trials. We achieve this by aligning resources to patient, provider and sponsor’s needs, and empowering radiation providers to lead in multidisciplinary oncology innovation.
