The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center

NCI designated The Ohio State University as a comprehensive cancer center in 1976. The adult patient care component of the OSUCCC is the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute, which opened in 1990 and was replaced in 2014 by a much larger cancer hospital of the same name. Clinical partners of the OSUCCC – James include The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, also on the Ohio State campus, and Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. 

The OSUCCC – James’s vision is to create a cancer-free world, one person and one discovery at a time.
