University of Virginia Health System

is to offer hope and longer
        life to patients with all types of cancer:

• by making available the newest types of immune therapy 
  
  
• by creating new knowledge about how to help the immune system kill cancer 
  
  
• by providing national leadership in testing 
  new therapies and bringing them into standard practice 
  

We are dedicated to the search for more effective ways to treat patients, to the ground-breaking work of our research scientists, and to the education of the community about the importance of prevention and screening.  

We are fortunate to have the personnel and the lab space necessary to complete the data collection and immunologic analysis associated with our investigator-initiated clinical trials. 

We are proud to offer patients quality surgical care, and a range of standard and innovative therapies including cancer vaccines and combination therapies.

We carefully consult patients regarding the novel treatments available at the University of Virginia, and provide advice about alternatives available regionally and nationally.
