Groundbreaking research efforts are under way at the Cancer Center seeking answers to the myriad questions that cancer poses

Cancer researchers now know that cancer is fundamentally a genetic disease, occuring when the basic machinery of our cells goes awry, either from an inherited genetic defect or an environmental trigger, such as smoking or sun exposure.

Learn more about our research programs: Basic Science Research Research how cancer grows, how it effects the body and what chemicals can impact it begins in the laboratory. Cancer's Stem Cell Revolution The U-M Cancer Center is one of only a few research institutions in the United States and Canada that has made an institutional commitment to cancer stem cell research. Clinical Science Research Success in our basic research programs is translated into therapies, or treatment plans, for patients. Clinical Science Research is dependent on the willingness of our patients' to partcipate in clinical trials Translational research Moves advancement and discovery in the laboratory setting to the clinical one. Cancer Prevention and Control Research in these areas focuses on testing and/or improving the effectiveness of cancer screening and detection methods, as well as considering the impact of environment, food, life style choices and other factors on the occurrence of cancer.
