Mission Statement:
The Nevada Cancer Research Foundation is a non-profit corporation organized exclusively for educational and scientific purposes, including
- cancer research and education
- support and expansion of treatment of cancer patients in Nevada
- administration of a Community Clinical Oncology Program grant from the National Cancer Institute.
About us:
The Nevada Cancer Research Foundation (NCRF) is funded primarily by a Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP) grant from the National Cancer Institute. The Foundation has maintained this grant since 1983.
NCRF is a non-profit, research organization dedicated to promoting high quality, state-of-the-art cancer treatment, symptom management, cancer control, prevention, quality of life and biology studies in Nevada. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) oversees this program.
Consortium affiliates of the Foundation include hospitals and physician groups in Nevada, primarily in the Las Vegas and Reno metropolitan areas. The Foundation's membership is comprised of more than 80 physicians specializing in hematology, oncology, radiation oncology and surgery who see adult and pediatric patients in Nevada.
The Foundation is committed to advancing the knowledge of cancer and improving the health of its community by the knowledge that is gained from individual participation in clinical trials.
NCRF supports the community, local physicians, and health care providers through educational initiatives. We also provide information on new treatment options, cancer detection and prevention, and the most recent research that is supported by the National Cancer Institute.
