The Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center is West Virginia’s premier cancer facility with a national reputation of excellence in cancer treatment, prevention and research.
Located in Morgantown, within the West Virginia University School of Medicine, MBRCC is recognized by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer, for providing the best in cancer care. Our multidisciplinary team of physicians, researchers and other healthcare experts work together to develop and implement the best possible individualized treatment plans, which include standard treatments and exciting alternatives offered through clinical trials.
Through the MBRCC Molecular Medicine Core Facility we are identifying genetic markers that are associated with specific cancers, and patients’ reactions to cancer drugs, that will allow physicians and pharmacists to tailor a cancer treatment to a patient’s genetic pattern. In our state-of-the-art proteomics lab basic science researchers are studying cancer at the molecular level and translating their findings into potentially useful drugs and treatments.
The MBRCC leads several federally-funded programs designed to translate research findings into education programs and training for healthcare providers and the public. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) chose WVU’s Cancer Center to locate its Mid-Atlantic Cancer Information Service office. |
