Director’s message

This year has been a transformative one for the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC). With the launch of our 2025-2030 Strategic Plan, we are reflecting on our achievements and charting a bold path forward. Our vision is clear: our discoveries here will end cancer everywhere.

At the heart of our bold vision is the voice of our patients, their families, and our community. They are central to our mission, guiding our efforts and inspiring the innovations that will shape the future of cancer care.

We are leading the charge in new frontiers in cancer research and care, with pioneering work in artificial intelligence, cell therapy, and efforts to reduce cancer health disparities. By integrating cutting-edge technologies with compassionate care and collaborative community outreach, we are transforming how cancer is understood, prevented, diagnosed, and treated.

As we move forward, our unwavering commitment to sharing knowledge and engaging with our community ensures that our discoveries will continue to drive meaningful change, in our communities and across the globe.

Together, we are driving innovation and reducing the burden of cancer, and I am incredibly proud of the remarkable progress we’ve made. Thank you for your continued support as we embark on another chapter of excellence in cancer research and care.
