Proud To Be Recognized As One Of The Nation’s Best. We are now an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. University of Maryland Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center has achieved the National Cancer Institute’s highest designation. While this is an honor, what’s more important is the progress we are making in fighting and preventing cancer: • Discovery of galeterone, an FDA fast-tracked compound developed to treat hormoneresistant prostate cancer • Invention of GammaPod™, a radiotherapy system for treating breast cancer in a prone position to better protect the heart • Immunotherapy trials that train patients’ own T cells to attack blood, lung, and head and neck cancers • Population health-related discoveries with risk and prevention implications for cervical cancer Learn more at UMGCCC.org
