The GW Cancer Institute takes a comprehensive approach to this complex disease. GWCI combines the myriad of cancer resources at The George Washington University into a unified force in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer, as well as life after cancer. High technology clinical care is delivered with a compassionate, personal touch.

Leading edge research programs span from molecular genomics and drug discovery, to survivorship and cancer health policy, and advanced clinical trials. Innovative educational programs are both professional and community based and our community outreach programs are effectively impacting the cancer health of our Nation’s Capital. At the heart of our efforts is the mission of understanding and eliminating cancer disparities.

The GWCI serves to integrate and coordinate the broad spectrum of cancer-related activities of The George Washington University and Medical Center.

Outstanding, leading-edge, compassionate cancer care is provided by the GW Hospital and the GW Medical Faculty Associates, with our new state-of-the-art infusion center and the Cyrus and Myrtle Katzen Cancer Research Center.
