Stanford Cancer Institute

The Stanford Cancer Institute is an NCI-designated Cancer Center at Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA. It is one of eight comprehensive cancer centers in California.

There are more than 400 faculty members of the Stanford Cancer Institute.[1] Adult patients are treated at the Stanford Cancer Center.[2]

History

The Stanford Cancer Institute was founded in 2003 and first received NCI-designation as a clinical cancer center in 2007. In 2016, it received its comprehensive cancer center designation.[3][1]

Stanford University was a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network in 1995.[4]

In 2016, a new center was created as part of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy. Stanford received $10 million from the Parker Foundation. This is a $250 million joint venture with five other cancer centers across the country.[5]

In 2017, a donation by Jeffrey Rothschild established the Stanford Center for Cancer Cell Therapy, which supports research into the development of immunological based treatments for cancer.[6]

gollark: This is also bizarre. Your perceptions of importance don't necessarily match other people's, and what they post in the channel is governed by their own perception.
gollark: > You could argue that it's an action of a protest, but a) protest is taken after negotiations fail, and there were no negotiations, b) there's a thing called self-preservation.I have no idea what this is actually supposed to mean, so I can't respond to it much.
gollark: If you do a thing, and it turns out to not fix a problem, it does not follow that you should just immediately increase the thing further.
gollark: Metadiscussion being tightly restricted and controlled sounds more like a way to consolidate palaiologistic power than something to actually generally benefit the community.
