Research programs within the IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center range from exploring the molecular changes that cause cancer to developing targeted therapies to prevent and treat cancer.
Since its founding, researchers at the center have made protocol-defining discoveries that have changed the way doctors treat breast cancer; gastrointestinal cancer, including pancreatic and colon cancers; genitourinary cancer, such as germ cell tumors, bladder and prostate cancer; hematologic disorders, including multiple myeloma and leukemia; thoracic cancer; thymoma; and thymic carcinoma. The center’s bone marrow and stem cell transplantation programs also are internationally recognized.
