Huntsman Cancer Institute
HCI is a National Cancer Institute–Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, which means it achieves the highest standards for cancer care and research and receives support for its worthy scientific endeavors. HCI has become one of the best cancer hospitals in the world since its creation in 1995.

Here are some of the breakthroughs that make HCI unique:

More genes for inherited cancers have been discovered at HCI than at any other cancer center in the world, including genes responsible for hereditary breast, ovarian, colon, head, and neck cancers, along with melanoma.
HCI manages the Utah Population Database, the largest genetic database in the world, with information on more than 11 million people linked to genealogies, health records, and vital statistics.
The cancer campus includes a state-of-the-art cancer specialty hospital as well as two buildings dedicated to cancer research.
