Clinical Division

Our highly collaborative environment has fostered world-class multidisciplinary oncology clinics here at UNC, where every new cancer patient receives a comprehensive treatment recommendation on the day of initial consultation that includes input from members of all the oncologic specialties, including radiation oncology. As such, we serve as the specialty oncology referral center for the entire state of North Carolina. The Department also has close ties with the world-renowned UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, which have significantly enhanced our research and bench to bedside focus. Members of our Clinical Division develop and participate in innovative translational clinical trials at both the institutional and national levels. Our faculty also provide excellent multidisciplinary clinical services at our affiliated centers in Raleigh, Wakefield, Smithfield, Clayton, Eden, and Lenoir, NC.
