National Cancer Institute-Designated Cancer Centers

Upon diagnosis of ovarian cancer, many women do not know where to turn for their treatment. One place to begin for many women across the United States is the National Cancer Institute’s list of designated cancer centers.

The NCI separates cancer centers into two categories:

1) Cancer Centers have a scientific agenda that is primarily focused on basic, population sciences, or clinical research, or any two of the three components.

2) Comprehensive Cancer Centers integrate research activities across three major areas: laboratory, clinical and population-based research.

Following is a list of current NCI-designated centers by state. For the latest list, you also can visit http://cancercenters.cancer.gov/cancer_centers/index.html
