Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University

Seeing over 17,000 patients a year, Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University is Georgia's only National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated comprehensive cancer center and serves as the coordinating center for cancer research, education and care throughout Emory University.

Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University is the only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center in Georgia and one of only 49 in the country. What this means to Georgians is improved access to clinical trials and resources available only at designated cancer centers. This designation requires effective collaboration among interdisciplinary teams throughout Emory and other organizations in the Southeast and the United States. These efforts reinforce our commitment to our community and those whom we are privileged to serve.
