Stanford Cancer Institute

The Stanford Cancer Institute (SCI) became an NCI Designated Cancer Center in 2007, and a Comprehensive Cancer Center in 2016. The Stanford Cancer Institute is located in the heart of Silicon Valley in California, and its mission is to reduce cancer mortality through comprehensive programs of cancer research, treatment, education, and outreach. Stanford has a long tradition of innovation in cancer research and translational medicine.

By leveraging the expertise of nearly 500 physicians and researchers, the SCI harnesses the vast intellectual and scientific resources of Stanford University, Stanford Health Care, and Stanford Children’s Health to advance the understanding of cancer and rapidly translate those research discoveries into improved prevention strategies, novel diagnostics, and safer, more effective therapies. Stanford’s cancer treatment programs combine new advances in precision medicine with compassionate care and supportive services.
