Located at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, one of the nation's premier public universities, the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center is North Carolina's only public NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center. Our mission is to reduce cancer occurrence, death, and suffering in our state and throughout the nation through treatment, research, training, and outreach.

Soon to be housed in the new North Carolina Cancer Hospital, UNC Lineberger's 12 multidisciplinary treatment programs provide an integrated team approach and access to leading-edge treatment and clinical trials. Our nine scientific programs and 23 shared resources involve 260 investigators from across the entire UNC Chapel Hill campus. Publishing across the scientific spectrum from fundamental precepts of cancer biology to community intervention, faculty are contributing to improved cancer treatment, early detection, and prevention. Center investigators lead two NCI Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPOREs), an NCI-funded center for nanotechnology and cancer, and three NIH Roadmap Center grants. With a special focus on addressing disparities, the Center's population sciences programs stimulate application and dissemination of new discoveries into communities across the entire state. Together, our outstanding clinicians, investigators, and staff work with our patients, our communities, and our state to provide today's best care and tomorrow's best hope.
