Gumdrop Inc

GUMDROP is a not-for-profit organization that was organized to enhance patient outcomes through greater cancer clinical trial awareness. These clinical trials continually change as the medical community evolves its approach to defeating cancer. This web site is intended to help all in the cancer community to filter through the several dozen of current clinical trials that apply to bladder, kidney and prostate cancers. It is hoped that improved clinical trial awareness and utilization will lead to improved survival and quality of life of patients, ultimately creating a better standard of care for these patients. GUMDROP stands for Genito-Urinary Multi-Disciplinary D.C. Regional Oncology Project. All of the activities of GUMDROP and its participating doctors and volunteers currently occur in the Washington DC Metro area. GUMDROP was started informally as an information sharing opportunity for oncologists at a dinner held in April 2011 in Bethesda, MD. It has grown to include 10+ institutions who now collaborate on a regular basis to improve patient care.
