People of all ages who are diagnosed with cancer seek treatment where the best researchers and doctors practice, where the most advanced equipment is used, and where the most sophisticated clinical trials are under way. People who are diagnosed with cancer seek treatment from centers recognized for their excellence by the National Cancer Institute (NCI).

It’s time the people of Greater Cincinnati had such a center.

Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, and University Hospital have created the Cincinnati Cancer Consortium—a joint effort designed to leverage the strengths of all three organizations in order to provide the best possible cancer diagnostics, research, treatment, and care for the people of Cincinnati.
