Children’s Hospital Colorado, where pediatric cancer care takes place, is acknowledged as one of the nation’s top 10 children’s hospitals by U.S. News & World Report. Children’s Colorado is also recognized, nationally and internationally, for medical, research, education and advocacy programs. In 2013 the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) elected the CU Cancer Center as a member institution. As part of NCCN, CU Cancer Center’s researchers contribute their expertise and ideas to the organization’s national and international initiatives in patient care and research. We are committed to transforming cancer research and practice in the state of Colorado by creating an integrated interdisciplinary nexus of clinicians and scientists across our statewide consortium that can leverage, synergize, marshal and focus resources and expertise to discover new ways to prevent and treat cancer. |
