National Cancer Institute Bestows Highest Rating on The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has awarded The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center the highest possible rating – “exceptional” – after completing its scientific peer review of the University’s cancer program. This action renews the Ohio State University’s designation as an NCI Comprehensive Cancer Center for at least another five years. This rating and re-designation came after a thorough review by a 28-member peer-review panel appointed by the NCI of Ohio State’s nearly 1,500-page application and a three-day site visit in May 2010. The panel deemed Ohio State’s Comprehensive Cancer Center as “the model for other matrix university-based centers.”
