Health Minister Mary Harney has officially opened the Oncology Clinical Trials Unit in Cork University Hospital (CUH). The unit provides access to research studies designed to test new treatments in cancer care. A clinical trial is set up at the end of a long and careful clinical research process in order to test a newly developed drug or procedure which shows promise.
