The Case Comprehensive Cancer Center (Case CCC) is a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center that brings together ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½, University Hospitals, and Cleveland Clinic to unlock new possibilities in cancer research and transform the landscape of cancer care. Located in Cleveland, Ohio, Case CCC serves the cancer research and clinical needs of an urban manufacturing and rural agricultural region of 15 northeast Ohio counties containing over 4 million people.
Through Case CCC, our consortium institutions are linked in a unified effort to understand the causes and progression of cancer and to use that understanding to develop treatments and reduce the likelihood that people will develop cancer and suffer from its consequences. We catalyze funding for collaborative, state-of-the-art cancer research, foster the next generation of cancer researchers through innovative training and education programs, and support community outreach and engagement initiatives to reduce the cancer burden in our community and beyond.
Our Mission
Case CCC's mission is to foster high-impact cancer research to improve lives across our communities through cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, cure, and survivorship by:
- Improving the prevention, diagnosis, and therapy of cancer through discovery, evaluation, and dissemination.
- Promoting cancer research in basic, translational, clinical, and population sciences that is transdisciplinary, translational, and collaborative.
- Catalyzing translational research through innovative investigator initiated clinical trials, which are rapidly disseminated into the community for the advancement of cancer care to the residents of northern Ohio.
- Developing cancer prevention and control activities that build on the expertise of the center and result in a reduction of cancer morbidity and mortality in northern Ohio and the nation.
- Enhancing, integrating, and elevating the pipeline of cancer research education and career development, focusing on local and national leadership in diversity and inclusion activities.
