About the Rogel Cancer Center

The Rogel Cancer Center is one of an elite number of programs across the country designated a “comprehensive cancer center” by the National Cancer Institute, a recognition of our excellence in collaborative state-of-the-art cancer research that impacts how cancer is prevented, diagnosed and treated.

Our patient care is consistently rated No. 1 in Michigan and among the best in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. As part of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, our faculty help set national guidelines for cancer care.

The Conquest of Cancer Through Research

The University of Michigan spends the second-highest amount on research of all universities in the United States. It is a broad and deep university with unmatched talent in science, medicine and the humanities. As part of the fabric of the vibrant and diverse research happening across the institution, our cancer center takes advantage of the unique collaborations in our many top-ranked schools and colleges. We can harness innovation by engaging disciplines that are not typically thought to be central to attacking the cancer problem (including faculty in fields like engineering and mathematics), as well as through more traditional collaborations between faculty in medicine, public health, nursing and social work.

Training the Next Generation of Clinicians and Researchers

In cooperation with the world-renowned U-M Medical School, we are dedicated to educating and training the next generation of oncologists and oncology researchers through fellowship programs, graduate training programs, and postdoctoral programs. The Medical School was the University's first professional school, and since graduating its first class of six students in 1851 — a group which paid a mere $5 for two years of medical education — we have become a leader in preparing the physicians and scientists of the future.

Our students are involved in many research activities, and are given the freedom and resources to pursue those lines of inquiry that are of greatest interest to them. Many will play a crucial role in discoveries that will make an impact worldwide. Our students also play a key role our mission to provide excellence in patient care.
