LURIE COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTER OF NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY

First established at Northwestern University in 1974, the Cancer Center was invigorated in 1989 when Ann and Robert H. In October 1991, the Cancer Center was dedicated as the Robert H. Lurie Cancer Center of Northwestern University. This title was modified in 1998, when the National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded the Cancer Center the

highly competitive "comprehensive" designation - reflecting the Cancer Center's dedication to the highest standards of cancer research, patient care, prevention and education. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University is the only cancer center in Illinois and one of only 40 in the nation to hold this NCI designation. In addition, the Cancer Center is a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, an exclusive alliance of 21 of the nation's leading cancer centers. What is a "Comprehensive Cancer Center"? The Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University is proud to be the only comprehensive cancer center in Illinois, as designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). In 1971, the National Cancer Act called for the creation of Cancer centers of excellence throughout the United States. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University was designated as a "comprehensive" cancer center in 1998. To gain a "comprehensive" designation (the highest ranking given by the National Cancer Institute), a center must meet specific criteria:
• Strong basic laboratory and clinical cancer research and the translational research that forms the bridge between them
• Innovative cancer treatments involving clinical trials
• Cancer prevention and control programs
• Training and education of health care professionals
• Cancer information services
• Community outreach and education
In addition, the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Advisory Board, whose members are appointed by the President of the United States to oversee the NCI's programs and policies, must recommend approval for a center to receive the comprehensive designation. The center must repeat an external review of the criteria above every five years.
