What We Do: Working together and utilizing state-ofthe-art facilities and technology, clinicians and researchers at the OSUCCC – James are speeding the development and delivery of targeted treatments for each patient’s unique cancer.
Cancer is no longer defined solely by stage and location, but rather by its biologic makeup. Hence, there is no routine cancer; it is different in each patient and requires individualized treatment for optimal outcomes.

Many of our patients may qualify for one or more of the hundreds of research-based clinical trials we manage that offer the latest treatments, some of which are available nowhere else. We are also at the forefront of immuno-oncology, which harnesses the body’s immune system to better combat cancer – a discipline widely considered to be the next frontier in cancer care.
