Despite declines in cancer deaths starting in the 1990s, cancer remains the second leading cause of death in Arizona and nationwide. The Division of Hematology and Oncology at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson works within the University of Arizona Comprehensive Cancer Center to provide specialty multidisciplinary care, cutting-edge research, and expert education and training for the next generation of hematologists and oncologists.
