SWOG Cancer Research Network is part of the National Cancer Institute’s National Clinical Trials Network and the NCI Community Oncology Research Program, and is part of the oldest and largest publicly-funded cancer research network in the nation. 

SWOG has nearly 12,000 members in 46 states and six foreign countries who design and conduct clinical trials to improve the lives of people with cancer. The group was founded by the National Cancer Institute in 1956. SWOG trials have led to the approval of 14 cancer drugs, changed more than 100 standards of cancer care, and saved more than 3 million years of human life. 

The group is based at the Knight Cancer Institute at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, OR. Its statistics and data management center is based at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, WA and its operations center is based in San Antonio, TX. The Hope Foundation for Cancer Research, the public charity that supports SWOG, is based in Ann Arbor, MI.

Across these four offices, SWOG employs a variety of professionals with expertise in protocol development and clinical research, statistical analysis, data management, quality assurance, budgets and contracts, information technology and web development, legal analysis, and communications.
