Virginia's First Comprehensive Cancer Center
UVA Health Cancer Care began serving the people of Virginia and beyond in 1934. We've been committed to excellence ever since.
Today we are proud to be a National Cancer Institute (NCI) Comprehensive Cancer Center. We're the first cancer center with this recognition in Virginia. This means we provide the premier patient experience, from diagnosis through survivorship. We're the cancer center of choice for our region.
