Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah 
is the National Cancer Institute-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center serving Utah, Nevada, Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho. The cancer center aims to trailblaze a future without cancer through impactful discovery and innovation in cancer research, clinical care, and access to and delivery of that care. Groundbreaking achievements include advances in precision oncology, data science and artificial intelligence (AI), interdisciplinary research in melanoma prevention and care, lung cancer and tobacco control using state-of-the-art methodologies, and cancer prevention and care in rural and frontier populations through transformative new care models that help overcome distance as a barrier.
Huntsman Cancer Institute’s mission is to understand cancer from its beginnings, to use that knowledge in the creation and improvement of cancer treatments, to relieve the suffering of cancer patients, and to provide education about cancer risk, prevention, and care.
Huntsman Cancer Institute opened its first research building and outpatient clinics in 1999 after a generous donation from the Jon M. and Karen Huntsman family. Several major expansions since then have grown the cancer center to over 1 million square feet of state-of-the-art cancer care and research space, serving patients from six continents.
Leveraging emerging technologies and innovative care delivery models as well as the vast experience from serving patients across the single largest land area of any cancer center in the nation, Huntsman Cancer Institute is a proven authority in extending access to and delivery of cancer care. The institute continues to lead the way in bringing care closer to the communities we serve with plans for a second cancer research and treatment center. It will be located in Utah County, Utah.
