NCI designation
[edit | edit source]UNMCCC first received designation as an NCI-designated Cancer Center in 2005. This status was further renewed in 2010, and gained its new designation as an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in 2015.[2] Only 51 centers in the nation hold this designation.[3] The UNMCCC is the only cancer center in New Mexico designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI).[4] To receive this designation, cancer centers must be leaders in scientific research, cancer treatment, and clinical trials, among other requirements laid out by the NCI.[2] The application process to be awarded this designation occurs once every five years, with the most current one being in 2020 for the UNMCCC.
