Case Comprehensive Cancer Center (Case CCC) is one of 57 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers, and the only cancer center that connects  the research and clinical expertise of University Hospitals and Cleveland Clinic — two globally recognized healthcare systems that compete in many areas of care — with the top-ranked Case Western Reserve University to create a rare collaborative environment centered on advancing cancer discovery and improving patient outcomes.

This unique consortium allows experts across institutions to share knowledge, technology, and resources in ways that would be difficult for any single institution to accomplish alone. The resulting innovation accelerates progress in cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and survivorship, reducing the burden of cancer in Northeast Ohio and positioning Cleveland as a national destination for cancer research, clinical trials, and advanced cancer care.

Our Mission

Case CCC's mission is to foster high-impact cancer research to improve lives across our communities through cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, cure, and survivorship by:

  • Improving the prevention, diagnosis, and therapy of cancer through discovery, evaluation, and dissemination.
  • Promoting cancer research in basic, translational, clinical, and population sciences that is transdisciplinary, translational, and collaborative.
  • Catalyzing translational research through innovative investigator-initiated clinical trials that are rapidly disseminated into the community for the advancement of cancer care to the residents of northern Ohio.
  • Developing cancer prevention and control activities that build on the expertise of the center and result in a reduction of cancer morbidity and mortality in northern Ohio and the nation.
  • Enhancing, integrating, and elevating the pipeline of cancer research education and career development.
