What Makes the BreastCARE at Jefferson Different

National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Center

Jefferson’s Kimmel Cancer Center is a National Cancer Institute (NCI) -designated Cancer Center. The NCI applies this special designation only to regional referral centers with a high level of clinical services and participation in national clinical trials. This special status as a national center testifies to the work of our basic and clinical scientists and physician researchers, who are on the forefront of advances against cancer.
