The state-of-the-art Nevada Cancer Institute opened August 2005. The 142,000-square-foot facility is home to groundbreaking biomedical research, education and technologically advanced, multi-disciplinary, sub-specialized patient care. This center is a hub where Nevadans and those from surrounding states can learn about cancer prevention, detection and treatment options. Our flagship facility is located in Summerlin and is uniquely designed to foster scientific research and discovery while maintaining the comfort of cancer patients and their families.
