Home > About UMCCC
Our multidisciplinary cancer clinics follow a team approach to care. We bring together all the experts needed to develop complete diagnosis and
treatment plans. Physicians and nurses provide ongoing care, while each patient's needs determine the specialists involved. Together, they attack the cancer on many different levels.
In addition, our teams work with colleagues in local communities throughout Michigan and at other
leading centers in the country, allowing our physicians to use an array of advanced methods to detect cancer early
and to treat it aggressively. Because many of our physicians are researchers or work in close concert
with researchers, they know cancer intimately and care is informed by their work in the lab. In fact, more than 350 U-M faculty members in the
U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center provide care to cancer patients and collaborate on cancer prevention as well as laboratory, clinical or
outcomes research.
The result: Many cancers are being cured as never before.
The University of Michigan is the only place in Michigan and one of only a handful of cancer centers in the country to provide 14 different
multidisciplinary
cancer clinics. Each of these teams of specialists offer one-stop access to comprehensive, timely, cost-effective treatment tailored for each type of cancer.
