About
ONCOLOGYSINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1973, THE SIDNEY KIMMEL COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTER AT THE JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL HAS BEEN DEDICATED TO BETTER UNDERSTANDING HUMAN CANCERS AND FINDING MORE EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS. FOR OVER FORTY YEARS THE KIMMEL CENTER HAS BEEN TURNING RESEARCH INTO RESULTS. FROM THE BEGINNING, KIMMEL CANCER CENTER LEADERS HAD A UNIQUE VISION OF WHAT OUR CANCER CENTER SHOULD BE. ITS HALLMARKS WERE INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION AND INNOVATION THAT TRANSCENDED THE ARTIFICIAL BOUNDARIES OF INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENTS, LABORATORIES, AND CLINICS. OUR MISSION WAS TO RAPIDLY TRANSFER DISCOVERIES ABOUT CANCER FROM THE BENCH TO THE BEDSIDE. THAT FOCUS AND MISSION REMAINS UNCHANGED TODAY. WITH THE CONVERGENCE OF TECHNOLOGY, BRILLIANT SCIENTIFIC MINDS, AND THE COMMITMENT OF THOSE WHO HAVE FUNDED THESE DISCOVERIES, WE HAVE COME TO A TIME WHEN WE CAN BEGIN TO ALTER THE COURSE OF CANCER IN WAYS WE COULD ONLY IMAGINE FOUR DECADES AGO. THE JOHNS HOPKINS KIMMEL CANCER CENTER IS ONE OF THE NATION'S 41 COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTERS DESIGNATED BY THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE, AND ONE OF THE FIRST TO EARN THAT STATUS. RESEARCH LED BY ITS FACULTY IS AMONG THE MOST HIGHLY-CITED IN CANCER RESEARCH AND CLINICAL CARE. THE STRENGTH OF OUR RESEARCH AND TREATMENT PROGRAMS WAS RECOGNIZED EARLY ON BY THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE, BECOMING ONE OF THE FIRST TO EARN COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTER STATUS AND RECOGNITION AS A "CENTER OF EXCELLENCE." HOPKINS HAS PIONEERED FIELDS SUCH AS CANCER GENETICS, BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT MEDICINE AND CANCER IMMUNOTHERAPY. THE KIMMEL CANCER CENTER IS THE ONLY COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTER IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND. IT ENCOMPASSES A WIDE SPECTRUM OF SPECIALTY PROGRAMS FOR BOTH ADULTS AND CHILDREN COPING WITH CANCER, INCLUDING BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION AND NEW DRUG DEVELOPMENT.PATIENTS WHO VISIT THE KIMMEL CANCER CENTER HAVE ACCESS TO SOME OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE AND ADVANCED THERAPIES IN THE WORLD. BECAUSE KIMMEL CANCER CENTER RESEARCH SCIENTISTS AND CLINICIANS WORK CLOSELY TOGETHER, NEW DRUGS AND TREATMENTS DEVELOPED IN THE LABORATORY ARE QUICKLY TRANSFERRED TO THE CLINICAL SETTING, OFFERING PATIENTS CONSTANTLY IMPROVED THERAPEUTIC OPTIONS.THE KIMMEL CANCER CENTER'S BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT PROGRAM (BMT), HAS BEEN AN INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED PROGRAM IN THE AREA OF BLOOD AND MARROW TRANSPLANTATION FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS. IN THAT TIME, BMT HAS BECOME AN ACCEPTED, CURATIVE THERAPY FOR A BROAD RANGE OF DISEASES, INCLUDING MALIGNANT DISEASES THAT INVOLVE THE BONE MARROW SUCH AS LEUKEMIA AND LYMPHOMA, NONMALIGNANT DISEASES THAT INVOLVE THE BONE MARROW SUCH AS APLASTIC ANEMIA AND A VARIETY OF INHERITED DISEASES. TO DATE, MORE THAN 5,000 BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED AT JOHNS HOPKINS, A NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE-DESIGNATED COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTER THAT IS FULLY ACCREDITED BY THE NATIONAL MARROW DONOR PROGRAM AS AN UNRELATED DONOR TRANSPLANT CENTER. AS A NATIONAL REFERRAL CENTER FOR BMT, HOPKINS PERFORMS AROUND 300 TRANSPLANTS EACH YEAR. THE WORK BY CENTER INVESTIGATORS IN CANCER GENETICS AND EPIGENETICS IS RECOGNIZED AS THE CLASSIC MODEL FOR DECIPHERING THE MECHANISMS OF CANCER INITIATION AND PROGRESSION. THE PIONEERING RESEARCH THAT DEFINED CANCER AS A GENETIC DISEASE WAS DONE AT OUR CENTER. THESE DISCOVERIES LED TO THE FIRST GENETIC TESTS FOR A HEREDITARY CANCER AND A SCREENING STOOL TEST FOR COLON CANCER. OUR INVESTIGATORS WERE THE FIRST TO MAP A CANCER GENOME, DECIPHERING THE GENETIC BLUEPRINTS FOR COLON, BREAST, PANCREATIC, AND BRAIN CANCERS. OF THE 75 CANCERS FOR WHICH ALL GENES HAVE BEEN SEQUENCED, 68 HAVE BEEN DONE AT THE KIMMEL CANCER CENTER. THESE DISCOVERIES HAVE PAVED THE WAY FOR PERSONALIZED THERAPIES WITH OUR INVESTIGATORS UNDERTAKING THE FIRST USE OF PERSONALIZED GENOME SCANNING TO REVEAL THE GENE MUTATION THAT CAUSED A PERSON'S INHERITED FROM OF PANCREATIC CANCER.
