Bringing together the outstanding resources of over half a dozen different basic laboratories and the clinical oncology program, the Center for Cancer Research fosters invaluable collaboration between clinicians and basic scientists in order to provide the highest standard in translational research and care. Clinicians provide basic investigators with information regarding the most critical challenges in diagnosis, prognosis and treatment in pediatric oncology, while basic scientists can directly apply their research toward answering those challenges. Through such collaboration, the Center for Cancer Research also strives to translate new information regarding the causes and treatment of adult cancers into the unique setting of pediatric malignancies.

Whether designing, monitoring and implementing clinical research trials, or working to develop novel methods of treatment, CHORI’s Center for Cancer Research not only provides unsurpassed excellence in caring for cancer patients, but represents the most current model of cancer research.
