About UVA Cancer Center: Our Accreditations & More

Virginia's First Comprehensive Cancer Center

UVA Health Cancer Care began serving the people of Virginia and beyond in 1934. We've been committed to excellence ever since. 

Today we are proud to be a National Cancer Institute (NCI) Comprehensive Cancer Center. We're the first cancer center with this recognition in Virginia. This means we provide the premier patient experience, from diagnosis through survivorship. We're the cancer center of choice for our region.

The UVA Cancer Center Mission

The mission of the UVA Health Cancer Center is to reduce the burden of cancer for the patients of today, through skilled, integrated, and compassionate care, and to eliminate the threat of cancer for the patients of tomorrow through research and education.
