The Cancer Cause and Prevention unit is home to the nation's premier group of cancer epidemiologists. In collaboration with geneticists and molecular biologists, these scientists investigate the genetic and environmental origins of cancers and develop new prevention strategies.
USC/Norris researchers are also leaders in putting cancer prevention to work. Whether it is a new drug to decrease breast cancer risk or patient education to decrease risk of skin cancer, the Cancer Center deploys the latest tools for fighting cancer.
