Building upon Dana-Farber’s deep experience in early cancer detection and treatment, we’ve created a robust, integrated clinical/research program -- Centers for Early Detection and Interception. This program brings together Dana-Farber’s expert clinicians and researchers across all cancer types, working together in a unified, multi-disciplinary effort that will accelerate progress in early cancer detection and interception. Through this effort, we will help stop cancer earlier, saving more lives, and improving the quality of life for all of those affected by cancer.
