Patient Resources

The Sara Schottenstein Foundation exists to help find a cure for gastric cancer and support people who are living with the disease along with their loved ones. We help those affected by gastric cancer navigate from diagnosis through to survivorship.

Clinical Trials

When traditional treatments are inadequate, clinical trials can provide patients with access to ground-breaking treatments that are not yet widely available. They also contribute scientific data that advance the field. For information about ongoing clinical trials for gastric cancer, please visit one of our partners, the Gastric Cancer Foundation, for the Clinical Trial Navigation Service.
