Welcome to Tulane Cancer Center!
Since its founding in 1993, Tulane Cancer Center has served as a nucleus for promoting and supporting trailblazing cancer-focused basic and translational research, leading-edge multidisciplinary cancer care, pioneering investigational treatment and prevention trials, and intensive preparation and education of the next generation of cancer researchers and physician scientists.
Healing People. Defining Medicine.
Tulane Cancer Care provides comprehensive oncology and hematology services, offering personalized care for patients with cancer and blood disorders through an academic medical center.
Research
Core Facilities provide shared access to advanced technologies, specialized equipment, and expert support that empower researchers to pursue innovative, collaborative cancer science. By centralizing these critical resources, the cores accelerate discovery and help translate research breakthroughs into improved cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
The Tulane Cancer Center is organized into four Research Programs designed to take advantage of the expertise available within the Tulane community and to focus our efforts on areas with the most relevance to cancer research and therapeutics. These Programs are interrelated to promote interaction and maximize productivity.
The mission of the Clinical Trials Office is to achieve the highest quality of clinical research with a focus on the safety and the rights of the patients through quality service, education and training of clinical staff and scientists.
