Louisiana Cancer Research Center

Our Mission - to reduce the impact of cancer across Louisiana and the Gulf region through locally focused high-impact cancer research, patient care, education and community outreach and engagement done in alignment with our unique cultural, ethnic, and environmental characteristics.

Each year, more than 28,000 Louisianans receive a new cancer diagnosis. The Louisiana Cancer Research Center (LCRC) serves as a collaborative hub that advances cancer research, improves prevention, and accelerates innovative treatments. LCRC brings together the collective talent of more than 200 researchers from four institutions - Tulane School of Medicine, LSU Health New Orleans, Xavier University of Louisiana, and Ochsner Health - to improve cancer outcomes for Louisianans and all those touched by the disease.

"As a LCRC supporter, I have the opportunity to educate people about the importance of research and the value of funding to help propel our local research scientists to achieve their next goal - opening clinical trials and then obtaining FDA approval of treatments." Sue Singer
