The University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center is a major cancer care and research institution operating within the University of New Mexico Health system, based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It serves as the state’s official cancer center and is noted as the only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center within a 500-mile radius, indicating a regional leadership role in oncology care, research, and education. The center brings together a large team of cancer specialists, including surgeons across multiple specialties, hematologists/medical oncologists, gynecologic oncologists, and radiation oncologists, alongside hundreds of nurses, pharmacists, researchers, and support staff to treat a substantial portion of New Mexico’s cancer patients and partner with statewide community health systems to provide care closer to home. Since 2015, affiliated researchers have contributed to the field through publications, patent activity, biotechnology startups, and educational programs for students at various levels, reflecting a dual focus on patient care and cancer research and training. A wide network of partnerships and a presence within the UNM Health system underpin its integrated approach to cancer treatment, prevention, and research, with evidence of ongoing expansion and recognition across the health care sector in the region.
