The University of Colorado Cancer Center is Colorado's only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center.
Headquartered on the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, the CU Cancer Center is a consortium of three state universities and six institutions. Together, our more than 440 members are working to ease the cancer burden through cancer care, research, education and prevention and control.
Additionally, nearly all researchers who participate in cancer-related basic, translational, clinical, population and behavioral research in Colorado are CU Cancer Center members. This statewide inclusiveness of cancer researchers and academic institutions provides great scientific breadth and depth strengthening the CU Cancer Center's research.
We are committed to transforming cancer research and practice in the state of Colorado by creating an integrated interdisciplinary nexus of clinicians and scientists across our statewide consortium that can leverage, synergize, marshal and focus resources and expertise to discover new ways to prevent and treat cancer.
Mission
To discover, develop and deliver breakthroughs in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention that improve cancer care locally, nationally and globally. These efforts form the basis of a comprehensive spectrum of translational prevention, diagnosis, treatment, survivorship and outreach programs and provide a framework for training the next generation of cancer researchers and physicians.
Vision
To transform cancer research and practice in the state of Colorado by creating an integrated interdisciplinary nexus of clinicians and scientists across our statewide consortium that can leverage, synergize, marshal and focus resources and expertise to discover new ways to prevent and treat cancer.
