Research-driven. Patient-focused. Future-ready.
At the LSU LCMC Health Cancer Center, we’re leading the charge against cancer through an integrated model that unites cutting-edge research, compassionate clinical care, and world-class education.
Innovative cancer research is at the heart of our mission. From breakthrough discoveries in our labs to collaborative, interdisciplinary studies, our researchers are driving progress against some of the most challenging cancers facing Louisiana and beyond.
In partnership with LCMC Health, our clinical teams are delivering advanced, personalized cancer care bringing the latest science directly to patients and improving outcomes across our state.
We’re also shaping the future of cancer care through the Department of Interdisciplinary Oncology at LSU Health New Orleans, where we are training the next generation of scientists and physician-researchers to carry this work forward.
Together, we are building a cancer center that reflects more than medicine. One that brings innovation and hope to every corner of our community.
