Since its inception in Santa Monica, California in 2008, the California Oncology Research Institute (CORI) has been committed to providing early diagnosis and treatment of cancer and innovative clinical and basic science research focusing on surgical technologies and the molecular biology of the tumors. Through scientific collaborations and alliances, CORI has established itself not only as a regi
onal cancer institute in Southern California, but also as a global leader in cancer research with a strong presence across four continents. With our internationally recognized team of researchers and surgical oncologists, CORI is at the forefront of cancer research and treatment. CORI scientific researchers are recipients of several, highly distinguished grant awards from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). These ongoing grants will enable us to create novel cancer therapies, which ultimately should lead to improve techniques for our surgical oncologists. Together, we can work collectively to research the early diagnosis, treatment, and cure of the cancers in our core program: melanoma, breast, colon, stomach, re**al, pancreatic, and liver cancers.
