Case Comprehensive Cancer Center

The goal of the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center is to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and therapy of cancer through discovery, evaluation, and dissemination; to stimulate and support innovative, coordinated interdisciplinary clinical research on cancer diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and control; to develop clinical applications of discovery and make these available to northern Ohio residents as quickly as possible through the integrated efforts of the major health systems in the region; to develop cancer prevention and control activities that build on the expertise of the Center and result in a reduction of cancer morbidity and mortality in the northern Ohio region and throughout the nation. The Center has partnerships with Case Western Reserve University, University Hospitals Case Medical Center, Cleveland Clinic, and MetroHealth Medical Center; and became an NCI-designated cancer center in 1987.
