The name Johns Hopkins has become synonymous with excellence in research and patient care.  Its science andmedical programs earn more federal research dollars than any other medical institution in the country.

Since its opening in 1973, our Cancer Center has led the world in deciphering the mechanisms of cancer and new ways to treat it.  The strength of our research and treatment programs was recognized early on by the National Cancer Institute, becoming one of the first to earn comprehensive cancer center status and recognition as a “Center of Excellence.”  Johns Hopkins Kimmell Comprehensive Cancer Center
