What is UAB Medicine doing to improve cancer care?
The UAB O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center is one of only 50 cancer centers in the United States, as designated by the National Cancer Institute. This means that we do a lot of important research to find better ways to prevent and treat cancer.
In 2010, we started a special program to make it easier for people in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Tennessee to see cancer doctors. They work with local doctors to share new ideas and the best ways to treat cancer.
When someone needs help with cancer, a team of experts at UAB Medicine work together to create a treatment plan fits that person’s needs.
