The University of Rochester Cancer Center (URCC) National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) Research Base (RB) is a nationwide clinical and translational science network of world-class scientists, oncologists, nurses and research staff with expertise spanning basic, clinical and translational research.
The URCC NCORP RB vision is “to help good people through lousy times when they experience cancer” by reducing cancer- and treatment-related morbidity stemming from toxicities and side effects.
We accomplish our goal of reducing cancer- and treatment-related morbidity by working with cancer patients, survivors and their caregivers from community oncology practices across the United States to design and conduct cancer research that is focused on developing, testing and implementing novel effective, practical and accessible therapies to treat the toxicities and side effects caused by cancer and its treatments.
