NCI Designation: A Milestone — Not the Finish Line
National Cancer Institute (NCI) Designation is an important validation of scientific excellence, collaboration, and impact. It signals that the LSU LCMC Health Cancer Center meets the highest national standards for cancer research and care.
But designation is not the end of the journey. It is a catalyst. Opening doors to new research opportunities, federal funding, clinical trials, and partnerships that allow us to do even more for Louisiana. Sustained philanthropic support is essential to build on that momentum, expand our reach, and ensure long-term impact for patients and communities across the state. The work of discovery, innovation, and healing does not stop at designation. It accelerates.
A gift to the LSU LCMC Health Cancer Center is more than a contribution for today. It is an investment in a future where research drives care, access is expanded, and every Louisianan has a fighting chance against cancer.
Join us in building what comes next for our patients, our researchers, and our state.
