Drawing upon the expertise of more than 290 researchers and clinicians from the Schools of Medicine, Engineering and Humanities & Sciences, the Stanford Cancer Center is at the forefront of today's advances in cancer research and medicine.

Interdisciplinary research by Stanford experts in cancer biology, epidemiology and other fields is yielding critical insights into the origins of cancer, while collaborations between the lab and clinic are working to move the most promising discoveries into improved diagnostic, treatment and prevention strategies.

Patients seeking care at Stanford may gain early access to these emerging therapies—and the benefits that they may offer—through the center’s clinical trials program.
