Support the UNMC Cancer Campus Cancer Center

The UNMC Cancer Campus Cancer Center will feature a tower which will provide state-of-the-art research facilities for cancer center scientists, and the space to recruit nationally-recognized cancer investigators. With each floor dedicated to specific diseases, the new Cancer Center will provide an environment that enables scientists and physicians to work collaboratively on the most difficult problems affecting patients.

The Cancer Campus will also include feature a multidisciplinary cancer treatment and cancer clinical research facility. Patients will be able to consult with all appropriate cancer specialists including medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists, during one visit and receive a complete multidisciplinary treatment recommendation. The new Cancer Center will have outpatient surgery suites, an infusion therapy center, and provide support services for all cancer patients such as genetics counseling, nutrition, physical therapy, survivorship programs and social services. It will also have special facilities to enable patients to participate in early phase clinical trials of new agents for cancer treatment and prevention.

The Cancer Campus will strengthen UNMC’s reputation as a leader in cancer research and patient care; help in the quest to obtain National Cancer Institute (NCI) Comprehensive Cancer Center designation, given only to the top forty cancer centers in the U.S.; attract patients nationally and internationally; and position UNMC as one of the nation’s premier centers for the treatment of cancer.
