What Sets Us Apart?
Research
In the past few decades, cancer treatments have improved tremendously, from chemotherapy to hormone and immunotherapies. The experts in the Hematology and Oncology Division not only treat cancer patients every day but are also dedicated to finding even better treatments through research, both in the lab and through clinical trials.
Our specialists work alongside researchers who study various aspects of cancer. They are part of all three research programs at the Wilmot Cancer Institute, which focus on Cancer Prevention & Control, Cancer Microenvironment, and Genetics, Epigenetics, and Metabolism. By collaborating with researchers from different fields, our team can find innovative solutions to the biggest challenges in cancer today.
