The UNMC Eppley Cancer Center was created in 1993 by the University of Nebraska Board of Regents in a move that united cancer researchers throughout the UNMC campus into a larger single entity. UNMC is the only public academic health science center in the state. Through its commitment to research, education and patient care, UNMC has established itself as one of the country's leading centers for cancer research and treatment and solid organ transplantation. UNMC's educational programs are responsible for training more health professionals practicing in Nebraska than any other institution.
