Patients who visit the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Comprehensive Center at Johns Hopkins have access to some of the most innovative and advanced therapies in the world. Because Center clinicians and research scientists work closely together, new drugs and treatments developed in the laboratory are quickly transferred to the clinical setting, offering patients improved therapeutic options.
The Sidney Kimmel Cancer Comprehensive Center at Johns Hopkins encompasses a wide spectrum of specialty programs for both adults and children coping with cancer, including bone marrow transplantation and new drug development. Additionally, those at high-risk for breast, ovarian, colon and other cancers, may seek information about early detection, prevention and genetic counseling through a comprehensive genetics service.
Our Cancer Center also offers complete family and patient services that include a Cancer Counseling Center, survivors and palliative care programs, and two residences for patients traveling from out-of-town to receive treatment.
The Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins furthered its commitment to excellence in patient care and research by building two new facilities that enhance ongoing programs and services and promote new developments in cancer research, treatment and prevention: the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Building, a our new clinical care cancer facility, which opened in the fall of 2000, and the Bunting Blaustein Building, a state-of-the-art cancer research and teaching building, which opened in late 1999.
