Yale Cancer Center is southern New England's only cancer center designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute- and one of only 40 in the nation. The significance of this designation has profound implications for those who choose Yale as the place where they will be cared for and receive treatment for their cancer.
In the fight against cancer, Yale has been at the forefront of understanding the fundamental mechanisms of cancer biology and in developing effective therapies for cancer treatment. Yale Cancer Center harnesses the resources of the Yale School of Medicine and Yale-New Haven Hospital to advance cancer research, prevention, and patient care, as well as community outreach and education.
