Nevada Cancer Institute conducts cancer research and delivers clinical cancer care, aiming to translate research advances into practical treatments for residents of Nevada and the Southwest. The facility opened in late Summer 2005 as a comprehensive center dedicated to cutting-edge research and the implementation of advanced prevention, detection, and treatment methods. The institute seeks designation by the National Cancer Institute as a Comprehensive Cancer Care Center, a status that reflects the close integration of research and patient care and the rapid conversion of discoveries into improved outcomes. As a nonprofit research center, it is designated by the Nevada state legislature as the official cancer institute for the state, coordinating a statewide collaboration among citizens, the oncology community, academic leaders, legislators, healthcare advocates, and patients and their families. Its mission includes ensuring that Nevada residents have access to the latest options in cancer prevention, education, detection, and treatment, regardless of geography, with a focus on cancer control research and community outreach as essential components of comprehensive care.
