Because the Arizona Cancer Center's mission is to prevent and cure cancer, we offer many programs designed to educate patients and their families about cancer prevention as well as a fitness program that encourage participants to make exercise a regular part of life. We also have one of the largest cancer prevention and control research programs in the country and even have a fellowship program to prepare scientists and clinicians to conduct cancer prevention research.
