Since its inception in 1973, the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at
Johns Hopkins has been dedicated to better understanding human cancers and
finding more effective treatments. One of only 40 cancer centers in the country
designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) as a Comprehensive Cancer
Center, the Kimmel Cancer Center has active programs in clinical research,
laboratory research, education, community outreach, and prevention and control.
Patients who visit the Kimmel Cancer Center have access to some of the most
innovative and advanced therapies in the world. Because Center clinicians and
research scientists work closely together, new drugs and treatments developed in
the laboratory are quickly transferred to the clinical setting, offering
patients improved therapeutic options.
