The unique aspect of Howard University Cancer Center (HUCC) is our natural ability and strength to address cancer disparities with an emphasis on those cancers that disproportionately impact African-Americans, in particular. There are three overarching programmatic areas in the Cancer Center whereby cancer disparities represent the underlying theme of the research focus:

  1. Cancer Biology
  2. Cancer Etiology
  3. Cancer Prevention, Control, and Population Sciences
