University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center

Join Our Leadership, Clinical, and Research Faculty Teams

The University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center (UNMCCC) is the Official Cancer Center of New Mexico and the only National Cancer Institute (NCI) designated comprehensive cancer center in a 500-mile radius. Our 134 oncology physicians, 122 cancer research scientists, and staff focus on discovering the causes and cures for cancers disproportionately affecting the people of the American Southwest — primarily Hispanic, American Indian, and Non-Hispanic White — with strikingly different patterns of cancer incidence, mortality and disparity. In the past year, our center cared for 12,000 patients; 12 percent participated in therapeutic interventional studies and 35 percent in interventional studies. UNMCCC has outstanding programs in Cancer Control and Population Sciences, Cellular and Molecular Oncology, and Cancer Therapeutics. Our research houses national centers: The Molecular Discovery and High Throughput Target Screening Center (nmmlsc.health.unm.edu), one of six Chemical Biology Consortium Centers of Excellence in The NCI NExT Program; Spatiotemporal Modeling of Cell Signaling (stmc.unm.edu), one of 13 NIH National Centers for Systems Biology; and a NIH Clinical and Translational Sciences Center. We enrich our endeavors by collaborating with Sandia and Los Alamos National Labs and Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute. Benefit from our Shared Resources, which include biospecimen collection and tissue analysis, genomics, biostatistics, bioinformatics, cancer population science and behavioral interventions, and the conduct of clinical interventions. UNMCCC is the center of our statewide cancer clinical trials and health delivery research network — partly funded by a NCI NCORP Grant — and is an Oncology Research Information Exchange Network (ORIENcancer.org) member. Our center has conducted 60+ statewide community-based cancer education, prevention, screening, and behavioral intervention studies involving more than 10,000 New Mexicans.
