UCSF THORACIC CANCER INNOVATION CENTER is redefining the future of lung cancer care by merging cutting-edge research with compassionate clinical practice. As the leading cause of cancer-related deaths, lung cancer demands bold innovation - and UCSF is answering that call. The Center’s mission is to uncover and overcome the mechanisms of therapy resistance in non-small cell lung cancer, pioneering next-generation targeted and immune-based treatments. Through a collaborative ecosystem of scientists, clinicians, and patients, the Center accelerates breakthroughs that transform lung cancer from a terminal diagnosis into a treatable, and ultimately curable, condition. Philanthropic support fuels this mission, empowering researchers to take risks, move faster, and deliver life-saving discoveries.
