Mayo Clinic Cancer Center | Office of Cancer Centers

Mayo Clinic Cancer Center was one of the first cancer centers to receive the NCI designation, in 1973. It became the only NCI-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center with three geographic sites in 2003, with facilities in Arizona, Florida, and Minnesota.

Mayo Clinic's culture of collaboration and teamwork speeds the transformation of promising laboratory discoveries into lifesaving treatments for patients with cancer. Because of this research, more than 100,000 cancer patients come to Mayo Clinic Cancer Center each year seeking medical answers.
