CCTG Disease Site Committees

CCTG disease site committees discuss proposals for new studies, consider their scientific merit and feasibility, and assign priorities. Each committee is composed of representatives from centres participating in CCTG trials who communicate their centre's persepctive regarding trial proposals.

Each disease site committee has a chair and an executive who review studies proposed by their respective site committees and then recommend trials for consideration to the CCTG Clinical Trials Committee.
