Groundbreaking research efforts are under way at the Cancer Center seeking answers to the myriad of 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.Clinical Trials

Maha H. Hussain, M.D., Associate Director of Clinical Research, explains the benefits of participation in clinical studies. |
Cancer Stem Cell Research
At the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center, we believe treatments designed to target and destroy cancer stem cells could revolutionize cancer treatment
Research Programs
- Basic Science Research
Research how cancer grows, how it effects the body and what chemicals can impact it begins in the laboratory.
provides individual or workshops to express emotions into art.
- 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. - Specialized Programs of Research Excellence
collaborative programs combining basic and clinical research focused on one particular cancer type.
