Founded in 1972, Norris Cotton Cancer Center (NCCC)’s comprehensive NCI designation was renewed through peer review in 2014. The Center integrates cancer research at the College, and in particular its Geisel School of Medicine and Thayer School of Engineering, with patient-centered cancer care provided at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH, and at 16 regional locations and partner hospitals in New Hampshire and Vermont. NCCC is the only NCI-designated clinical center based in this Northern New England catchment area. NCCC is committed to providing access to research-based care, advanced technologies, and clinical trials for patients throughout northern New England. We are an active partner with the CDC-funded New Hampshire Comprehensive Cancer Collaboration and Dartmouth’s CDC-funded Prevention Research Center. | Founded in 1972, Norris Cotton Cancer Center (NCCC)’s comprehensive NCI designation was renewed through peer review in 2014.

The Center’s 150 member investigators advance cancer science in six program areas: cancer control, cancer mechanisms, cancer epidemiology, cancer imaging and radiobiology, immunology and cancer immunotherapy, and molecular therapeutics. Cancer research represents a majority ($60 million annually) of all peer-reviewed research in the Geisel School of Medicine, and a majority of the clinical trial enrollment at Dartmouth-Hitchcock. In partnership with The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice (TDI), NCCC has developed important NCI-funded cancer registries in breast and colon cancer screening, and is shaping new work in health delivery, outcomes, and comparative effectiveness research. NCCC’s Rubin Building on the Dartmouth-Hitchcock campus provides facilities to foster these collaborations, with expansion into the adjacent Williamson Translational Research Building scheduled for 2015. | The Center’s 150 member investigators advance cancer science in six program areas: cancer control, cancer mechanisms, cancer epidemiology, cancer imaging and radiobiology, immunology and cancer immunotherapy, and molecular therapeutics.

Founded in 1972, Norris Cotton Cancer Center (NCCC)’s comprehensive NCI designation was renewed through peer review in 2014. The Center integrates cancer research at the College, and in particular its Geisel School of Medicine and Thayer School of Engineering, with patient-centered cancer care provided at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH, and at 16 regional locations and partner hospitals in New Hampshire and Vermont. NCCC is the only NCI-designated clinical center based in this Northern New England catchment area. NCCC is committed to providing access to research-based care, advanced technologies, and clinical trials for patients throughout northern New England. We are an active partner with the CDC-funded New Hampshire Comprehensive Cancer Collaboration and Dartmouth’s CDC-funded Prevention Research Center.
The Center’s 150 member investigators advance cancer science in six program areas: cancer control, cancer mechanisms, cancer epidemiology, cancer imaging and radiobiology, immunology and cancer immunotherapy, and molecular therapeutics. Cancer research represents a majority ($60 million annually) of all peer-reviewed research in the Geisel School of Medicine, and a majority of the clinical trial enrollment at Dartmouth-Hitchcock. In partnership with The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice (TDI), NCCC has developed important NCI-funded cancer registries in breast and colon cancer screening, and is shaping new work in health delivery, outcomes, and comparative effectiveness research. NCCC’s Rubin Building on the Dartmouth-Hitchcock campus provides facilities to foster these collaborations, with expansion into the adjacent Williamson Translational Research Building scheduled for 2015.

Community education and care are of great importance to NCCC.
