Our Cancer Prevention and Control Program has two primary goals:

  • Decrease the incidence and slow the progression of cancer 
  • Improve quality of life, reduce morbidity and increase survival in those who develop cancer

Research Themes

Within each of these aims are key areas of scientific focus that involve a high degree of inter- and intra-programmatic collaboration. To achieve these aims, our Program has four main themes:

Cross-cutting these four themes is the reduction of health disparities across different socioeconomic, geographic and racial groups.
