Mission
The Midwest Cancer Alliance (MCA) Partners Advisory Board
advances the pursuit of National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation
for the region by demonstrating collaboration of key hospitals
and research institutions in the areas of research and education,
leveraging regional strengths such as drug discovery and development,
and addressing the continuum of cancer from prevention, early detection, treatment,
and survivorship. By increasing access to the latest discoveries and
cutting-edge cancer treatments close to home, we can reduce the financial,
emotional and physical burdens for patients, while achieving the ultimate goal
of eliminating cancer in the Heartland.
