		Home > About UMCCC Clinical Care The University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center brings together all the experts needed to develop a complete cancer diagnosis and treatment plan The Cancer Center follows a multidisciplinary -- or 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. Go here for the complete list of our clinics. The University of Michigan is the only place in Michigan and one of only a handful of cancer centers in the country to provide 17 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.
