The Mays Cancer Center at UT Health San Antonio was originally established in 1974 as the Cancer Therapy & Research Center (CTRC), an outpatient radiation therapy clinic for the local community. In 1991, CTRC launched its Institute for Drug Development to find new treatments for patients with cancer through the integration of research programs of excellence in translational and clinical sciences. Soon after, the center expanded and joined forces with the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (now known as UT Health San Antonio), to form an NCI-Designated Cancer Center.
In 2007, the CTRC became a part of UT Health San Antonio, forming the Mays Cancer Center. The Mays Cancer Center includes a multidisciplinary faculty of more than 100 members of the UT Health San Antonio faculty representing more than 10 academic departments and 3 schools.
