A wide range
of innovative treatment options, expert teams of diverse professionals focused
on specific cancer types, and attention to all cancer care needs in one setting
are the benefits the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center
offer patients who come from across the state and around the globe.
Since the installation in 1921 of the first radiation therapy machine at Long Hospital — the precursor to Indiana University Hospital — physicians and researchers at IU have been at the forefront of caring for cancer patients and developing new treatments that have become the standard of care worldwide.
Today at the IU Simon Cancer Center, physicians treating patients in the clinics interact with the scientists investigating cancer in the laboratories. In all, more than 200 physicians and researchers are working to develop cures for cancer. That teamwork leads to clinical breakthroughs, such as turning the cure rate of testicular cancer from 10 percent to nearly 95 percent today, among many others.
Outside of the labs, the IU Simon Cancer Center — the state's only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center that provides patient care — offers its patients a serene natural environment in its new $150 million patient care building. The building, a partnership between the IU School of Medicine and Clarian Health, demonstrates the commitment of IU and Clarian to the future of cancer care and emphasizes their dedication to the most comprehensive and innovative cancer treatment.
