Nevada Cancer Institute (NVCI) is the official cancer institute for the State of Nevada. NVCI is committed to reducing the burden of cancer by pursuing the development of a comprehensive cancer research institute, as defined by the National Cancer Institute. NVCI is staffed by the finest scientists, clinicians, educators and caregivers who provide hope to our communities through research, education, early detection, prevention and high quality patient care with a focus on a future without cancer that is achieved through initiated and collaborative research in basic, clinical and population science.

A non-profit organization, NVCI has raised more than $100 million in private community financial support, with support of a repayable $50 million construction bond for NVCI’s 142,000 square foot flagship research and care facility in the Summerlin district of Las Vegas that opened in September 2005.
