The Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins was one of the first cancer centers in the country designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) as a Comprehensive Cancer Center.

The Kimmel Cancer Center provides expertise in the molecular genetics of cancer, bone marrow transplantation, new drug development, pediatric oncology, radiation oncology, brain tumor research and treatment, and esophageal cancer research, treatment and prevention. The Center encompasses a wide spectrum of specialty programs in breast, colon, melanoma, hematologic malignancies, and head and neck cancers. Additionally, those at high-risk for breast, ovarian, colon, and other cancers may seek information about early detection, prevention, and genetic counseling through a comprehensive genetics service.

The Center conducts premiere research involving the genetic basis of colon cancer, the treatment of cancer pain, gene therapy, and new therapeutic approaches for breast cancer. Learn more about clinical trials at The Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins.
