The OSU CCC-James collaborates with many institutions in cancer care, research and clinical trials. Partnerships are vital to helping provide effective treatment to people with cancer and to reduce the incidence of cancer. Affiliations help extend our cancer expertise to people in other areas of the state as well as increase research and education opportunities. Current affiliations include:
Genesis Cancer Unit; Zanesville, Ohio --The Genesis Cancer Unit is a dedicated cancer treatment unit located at Genesis-Good Samaritan Hospital that benefits from access to The James' training and treatment programs as well as its support services and tissue procurement program. The 15-bed unit stems from a partnership established in 2002 between The James and Genesis HealthCare System, which includes two hospital locations and 13 affiliated organizations in southeastern Ohio.
The Ohio State University/Cincinnati Children's Cancer Consortium -- An affiliation between The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center (OSUCCC) and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center was formed to stimulate novel research in cancer that will benefit pediatric and adult patients nationwide. The Ohio State University/Cincinnati Children’s Cancer Consortium focuses on enhancing development of translational research – basic science that can be readily transformed into actual patient treatments.
Columbus Children’s Hospital, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center -- A collaborative agreement among the three organizations broadens the study of childhood cancer and accelerates the transfer of key research findings to the clinical setting. The unique relationship between the three institutions is stimulating novel research and developing collaborations in pediatric cancer-related studies that will also have applications to adults.
Holzer Center for Cancer Care -- An affiliation between OSU Medical Center and Holzer Cancer Center for Cancer Care (HCCC) in Gallipolis, Ohio will focus on targeted educational activities that will impact and improve the patient care and quality of life for cancer patients in southeast Ohio and west central West Virginia.
