The Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill was designated as an NCI cancer center in 1975 and received comprehensive cancer center status in 1990. It is the only public NCI-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in North Carolina. With research that spans from the laboratory to the bedside to the community, UNC Lineberger clinicians and scientists work to understand the causes of cancer at both the genetic and environmental level, to conduct groundbreaking research and to translate that research into innovative treatment and prevention measures.
The cancer center is the largest research entity at UNC, both in size of faculty and external funding, and its 325 members are drawn from more than 40 departments at UNC, including the School of Medicine, the Gillings School of Global Public Health, the Eshelman School of Pharmacy, the Adams School of Dentistry, the School of Nursing, and the College of Arts and Sciences. UNC Lineberger offers patient-centered care provided by UNC’s nationally known clinical faculty at the N.C. Cancer Hospital. The 315,000-square-foot facility includes multidisciplinary clinic space with a healing atmosphere created with patient input along with a nationally recognized Comprehensive Cancer Support Program. Adult and pediatric patients also have the opportunity to participate in more than 200 clinical trials for a wide range of cancers and across all phases of investigation.
