New Mexico Cancer Care Alliance, NMCCA, supports New Mexico cancer patients, their families, and their loved ones by helping patients get access to local investigational treatments and providing the latest information from cancer research studies.
We were formed in 2002 by a small group of dedicated cancer physicians in Albuquerque who were concerned that the newest investigational cancer treatments were only available through research studies and clinical trials conducted outside the state. They saw firsthand that the economic and emotional costs of travel too often kept New Mexico cancer patients from participating in these programs.
NMCCA helps New Mexicans get access to new, investigational oncology research treatments by:
- Maintaining a registry of information about oncology clinical trials.
- Working with government agencies and pharmaceutical companies to bring clinical research trials to New Mexico.
- Handling the administrative work that is required to open and manage local research studies.
- Sponsoring training sessions for patients and physicians about the latest oncology research findings.
NMCCA is a New Mexico nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

Help advance cancer research in our state!
NMCCA depends upon donors to help us reach our goals of bringing cancer clinical trials and educational programs to New Mexicans. NMCCA's research programs involve a tremendous amount of government regulatory documentation, review and investigation to ensure that any clinical research study opened by NMCCA for its participating physicians is scientifically and ethically sound.
