Our team of scientists and medical professionals conduct research on how cancer starts, how to improve treatment, and what can be done to prevent it, with the hope that this knowledge will lead to a cancer-free generation. The type of treatment you receive determines which clinic you visit. Patients being treated with surgery, chemotherapy, biologics, or other drug treatments are seen in the Multidisciplinary Oncology Clinic. Patients receiving radiation treatments are seen in the Radiation Oncology Clinic. Our clinics have designated days for certain types of cancer, special treatments, or other medical problems.
Appointments are necessary.
Depending on your diagnosis and treatment recommendations, you may receive treatment as an outpatient at the Arizona Cancer Center or in your hometown with the help of a local cancer specialist.

The Arizona Cancer Center is part of The University of Arizona Health Sciences Center, an allied health care complex dedicated to patient care, research, and education. As a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center, the Arizona Cancer Center is nationally recognized as having a major commitment to conquering cancer through its aboratory and clinical research programs.
