A National Research Leader
The University of Maryland Department of Radiation Oncology is a national leader in clinical research, cutting-edge clinical trials, and translational research in radiation therapy. As a top research institution, we are committed to providing patients with access to cutting-edge investigator-initiated clinical trials as well as National Cancer Institute (NCI) National Clinical Network Trials Network (NCTN) group trials.
The department is one of the top radiation oncology departments in the United States for amount of federal funding received for cutting-edge research. Since 2024, the Department of Radiation Oncology has ranked in the top 10 nationally and internationally for NCI NCTN clinical trial group accruals. Since 2018, the University of Maryland Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center (UMGCCC) has ranked top 10 in the United States as a main member institution with NRG Oncology for trial enrollments.
This strong reputation in research has led UMGCCC to be one of only four cancer centers in the country to hold a Master Research Agreement with Varian Medical Systems, the market leader in the development of medical technology.
Clinical trials in radiation oncology are open and we are actively enrolling patients at all seven of the department's locations.
