JONSson Comprehensive
Cancer Center (JCCC) at UCLA
Now, through the ongoing CCCN / JCCC affiliation,
patients in the Las Vegas area can participate in nationwide, state-of-the-art
research trials without leaving their community. JCCC has been designated
a comprehensive cancer center by the National Cancer Institute (NCI),
one of only 41 nationwide. The mission of NCI-designated cancer
centers is to move basic research discoveries from the laboratory
into the clinical setting. In addition, these cancer centers implement
outreach programs, which link communities to their research activities
and clinical services. JCCC actively sought CCCN to become part
of its network of community-based centers for research trials owing
to the high quality of CCCN's research physicians. To learn more about Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center at UCLA click here.
