About the Brown University Health Cancer Institute team
Brown University Health Cancer Institute physicians work collaboratively in disease-specific teams to provide leading-edge, patient-centered cancer care and access to the latest, most appropriate clinical trials for each patient.
This care is offered at all our locations: Rhode Island, The Miriam, and Newport hospitals and the Brown University Health Ambulatory Care Center in East Greenwich. We bring the expert care to the places where our patients live and work.
Our physicians and scientists have pioneered groundbreaking treatments for cancers through their research and leadership in national and international cooperative groups of cancer researchers. LCI physicians’ expertise positions our cancer center among a select group of sites in the world participating in the most innovative clinical trials that are driving the next generation of immunotherapy and genomic-based treatments for cancer.
Partnership with the Brown University Oncology Group is also instrumental to our ultimate mission to improve the lives of patients with cancer through better treatments and care.
