Cancer

Our cancer research examines many of the most prevalent cancers today with the goal of finding new and innovative therapies, treatments and ultimately prevention and cures.

Our researchers discovered a link between finasteride, a medication used to relieve urinary problems, and prevention of prostate cancer.

The Mays Cancer Center is a member of The Pediatric Oncology Experimental Therapeutics Investigators' Consortium (POETIC).

Clinical trial participation is an invaluable way to contribute to the pursuit of new treatments for cancer. Take action today! Volunteer and play a role in finding a cure.
