In 1973, the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center received National Cancer Center designation from the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The UW Carbone’s scientific mission is organized around six scientific programs that foster dynamic interactions, the generation of ideas, and new applications for cancer treatment and prevention.

UW Carbone is an integral part of the UW School of Medicine and Public Health and UW Health, bringing together more than 330 physicians and scientists from 50 departments and nine schools to conduct research and translate laboratory discoveries into new patient treatments.
