University of Colorado Cancer Center

Since its establishment in 1985, the University of Colorado (CU) Cancer Center has become the hub of cancer research in the state of Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region. The CU Cancer Center became an NCI-Designated Cancer Center in 1987 and was recognized as an NCI comprehensive cancer center in 1997. In 2005, NCI awarded the center a formal consortium designation.

The CU Cancer Center’s mission is to unite the community to overcome cancer through innovation, discovery, prevention, early detection, multidisciplinary care, and education.

The CU Cancer Center represents the collaboration of approximately 300 members at multiple institutions, including CU Anschutz Medical Campus (School of Medicine, Pharmacy, Public Health, and Dental), CU Boulder, and Colorado State University (Flint Animal Cancer Center). Also included in the consortium are CU Cancer Center’s clinical partners UCHealth, the University of Colorado Hospital, Children’s Hospital Colorado, and the Denver VA Medical Center.
