This BATI-NCORP program is designed to provide cancer patients, and healthy citizens ?at risk? for cancer, with opportunities to participate in NCI-sponsored clinical trials developed by the members of the National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) and NCORP Research Bases. These clinical trials are intended to identify more effective and/or less toxic treatments for the prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment, long-term supportive care, or end-of-life care for cancer patients. Via the BATI-NCORP, East Bay oncologists can provide their patients, at no cost, with opportunities to participate in the most advanced and promising forms of genetic therapy, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery and radiation treatments.

Since 2014, BATI has led the NCORP (NCI-Community Oncology Research Program) in the East Bay. This program conducts research in Cancer Care Delivery, Cancer Control and Prevention, and Cancer Therapeutics. BATI is the core member of this eight-member consortium of hospitals and private medical practices. It is responsible for all organizational, administrative and programmatic segments of the NCORP. BATI has the necessary financial, administrative and organizational strength to adapt to constant changes in the healthcare environment and the nation-wide evolution of community-based clinical research.
