The twin pillars of precision medicine and precision population health guide research and treatment at the Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center. Through precision medicine we are revolutionizing cancer care and providing patients with the latest, most personalized treatments more rapidly than ever before.
Bakar Precision Cancer Medicine Building
By bringing together researchers, clinicians, and supportive care in one state-of-the-art building, UCSF is revolutionizing cancer care and providing patients with the latest, most personalized treatments—including immunotherapy, molecular profiling of tumors, and genetic counseling—more rapidly than ever before.
Molecular Oncology Initiative
The mission of the Molecular Oncology Initiative is to guide the development and implementation of precision medicine for UCSF cancer patients through the integration of molecular analyses into patient clinical care.
Cancer Immunotherapy Research and Clinical Translation (CIRCT)
The UCSF Cancer Immunotherapy Research and Clinical Translation (CIRCT), in conjunction with the Cancer Immunotherapy Clinic, brings together clinicians and scientists from across multiple disciplines into a single, streamlined program in order to develop novel approaches to treating cancer.
Center for BRCA Research
The Center for BRCA Research provides a central resource for families with BRCA and other mutations to receive personalized care and planning for their long-term health and well-being.
Benioff Initiative for Prostate Cancer Research
The Benioff Initiative for Prostate Cancer Research seeks to transform prostate cancer treatment, from a “one-size-fits-all” approach, to a strategy where therapies are informed by the molecular mechanisms that govern a patient’s individual cancer.
Precision Imaging for Cancer and Therapy (PICT)
The PICT program brings together basic, translational and clinical scientists in order to integrate cutting edge, multi-modality imaging into all aspects of patient care and cancer research.
