Duke Cancer Institute

Duke Cancer Institute is a collaborative powerhouse—audacious, evolving, unconventional—at the center of a world-renowned university and medical center. We unleash the power of synchronous collaboration to create breakthroughs that rapidly transform the unimagined into the possible—to fuel a pace of discoveries and advances previously thought impossible. Established in 1973 as one of the original eight comprehensive cancer centers designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), today our patients come for care from every county in North Carolina, every state in the nation and from around the world.
