Life Changing Cancer Care
UPMC Hillman Cancer Center is a National Cancer Institute-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is the country's leading authority on cancer. There are only 57 NCI-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the United States.
Comprehensive Cancer Center designation is earned — not paid for or determined by peer nomination. Centers earn the distinction through excellence in research across multiple branches of science and ongoing community education and outreach activities.
At UPMC Hillman, our NCI designation extends throughout our entire network of more than 70 locations in Pennsylvania — well beyond our flagship location in Pittsburgh. We offer the latest advances in evidence-based clinical care through medical, radiation, and surgical oncology services. We also provide supportive programs that help patients manage the mental, physical, financial, and social aspects of treatment.
