Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah is a nationally recognized research center and treatment hospital in Salt Lake City. We are the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in the Mountain West and serve patients with all types of cancer from Utah, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and Wyoming. In 2021, we opened the region’s first proton therapy center. We manage the Utah Population Database, the largest genetic database in the world. More genes for inherited cancers have been discovered at our institution than any place in the world, including genes for melanoma and breast, ovarian, colon, head, and neck cancers.
