The O'Quinn Medical Tower offers state-of-the-art facilities including radiology, radiation oncology, endoscopy, and an 80-bed infusion center with a dedicated Phase I unit.
The DLDCCC supports over $130 million in annual cancer-related research funding, including more than $44 million from the NCI. Faculty benefit from access to six well-funded research programs and ten disease-specific working groups that foster collaboration between basic and clinical scientists.
