Cancer Research at Baylor College of Medicine (DLDCCC)
The Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center is advancing precision oncology and genomic cancer research to improve patient outcomes.
Key Research Focus Areas
- Cancer genomics and genetic risk identification
- Personalized cancer treatment (precision medicine)
- Early cancer detection and prevention
- Translational research from lab to clinic
How This Impacts Patients
Researchers use genetic data and molecular profiling to:
- Predict cancer risk
- Detect cancer earlier
- Match patients with targeted therapies
The Duncan Cancer Center is helping lead the shift toward data-driven, personalized cancer care.
Research Programs
The Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center has organized its research activities into seven programs to enhance interactions between investigators. Learn more about our research programs.
Inside Our Research Programs
The Mechanisms in Cancer Evolution Program creates a gateway between clinicians and basic scientists who are working toward more precise testing, treatment and cures for cancer.
Dr. Bert O'Malley's passion for understanding how human cells works leads to insight in developing new therapies to treat breast cancer.
The goal of the nine-year Cancer Genome Atlas Project is to identify genetic changes and variations found in more than 20 types of cancer.
