Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center Earns National Cancer Institute Designation Again

Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center posted the following on LinkedIn:

“Five years after being awarded the prestigious National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation, we’ve earned it again.

In a state with the second-highest cancer burden in the U.S., the renewal affirms our institutional commitment to continue pursuing cancer cures and cements our role as the only designated cancer center in South Florida. We earned NCI’s high marks five years ago with innovative programs in clinical care, research, and community outreach. For this renewal, we presented transformational new programs and initiatives, expanding our impact since the first NCI designation.

‘Sylvester’s scientific contributions not only directly serve the needs of its community but also impact cancer care across the country and the globe by changing practice, influencing policy and shifting research paradigms,’ said Dr. Stephen Nimer, who has led Sylvester, part of the University of Miami Health System and University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, since 2012.
