"50 years ago, our oncologists were working in the dark. In the past five to ten years, however, a remarkable amount of progress has been made, with dramatic advances in immunotherapy, precision oncology, and precision cancer prevention. By leveraging academic talent from across the entirety of Dartmouth and Dartmouth Health, we are charting a future that's bold, innovative and hopeful."

--Dr. Steven Leach, MD.

Director, Dartmouth Cancer Center, Preston T. and Virginia R. Kelsey Distinguished Chair in Cancer
