About the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center
The UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and the N.C. Cancer Hospital are creating the new face of cancer research and treatment in North Carolina.
UNC Lineberger is the only public comprehensive cancer center for the State and the people of North Carolina. Our mission is to reduce cancer occurrence and death in North Carolina and across the nation through research, treatment, training and outreach. The N.C. Cancer Hospital - part of UNC Health Care - is the cancer center's clinical home.
This mission is fueled by collaboration across the population, basic and clinical sciences. UNC Lineberger's 285 members hail from more than 25 departments from across the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, including the Gillings School of Global Public Health, the Eshelman School of Pharmacy, the School of Medicine, the School of Dentistry and the College of Arts and Sciences.
Part of the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center was established in 1975. As one of only 40 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers nationwide, UNC Lineberger is at the center of an unprecedented effort to make strides against cancer and the suffering it causes.
With support from the state of North Carolina for the construction of the N.C. Cancer Hospital and through the University Cancer Research Fund, UNC Lineberger faculty treat cancer patients, conduct research into the causes of cancer and search for new treatments, develop and direct statewide programs in cancer prevention, and train future physicians, nurses, scientists and public health professionals.
