Cancer Center at UGA

Welcome to the University of Georgia Cancer Center

Cancer is a complex disease, and we at The University of Georgia Cancer Center are fighting it on three different fronts on behalf of Georgians.

We aim to:

  • Develop new methodologies for tumor early detection
  • Find new targets both inside and on the cancer cell surface to develop novel therapeutic drugs
  • Improve prevention efforts and the quality of life of patients and survivors
