Founded in 2019, the Cancer Control Research Center is a non-governmental research center affiliated to the Iran University of Medical Sciences (IUMS). We address fundamental scientific issues in cancer control through multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary high-quality basic and clinical cancer research and collaborative studies with other national and international peers.
Vision statement
In addition to developing high quality evidence-based guidelines and undertaking research studies related to different aspects of cancer control, including cancer registration, prevention, early detection, treatment and palliative care, the Cancer Control Research Center plans to coordinate and standardize cancer-related best practices and research initiatives across the country.
Mission statement
We conduct high quality research programs to address global knowledge gaps relating to cancer and improve the health of all people.
We collaborate with many national and international cancer researchers and health care professionals.
We provide high quality training programs designed for and dedicated to producing competent physicians and research assistants.
Objectives
In order to accelerate, consolidate and promote cancer control in the community with a research strategy, the Cancer Control Research Center was established to meet the following objectives:
