About NCCC

The Dartmouth-Hitchcock Norris Cotton Cancer Center is one of the nation’s premier facilities for cancer treatment and research. It is one of only 40 National Cancer Institute designated comprehensive cancer centers in the United States. For more details about us, refer to our Fact Sheet (PDF).

The Cancer Center provides a positive environment for treatment, cure, and recovery for patients with all forms of cancer. Patients receive technologically advanced cancer treatments and access to clinical trials of new treatments. Each patient is seen as an individual, and a specific treatment plan is developed by specialists who work directly with the patient, family, and referring physician. The Cancer Center is also a leader in improving the comfort and quality of life of patients.

Investigation and Discovery
About 250 active research projects  are part of the Cancer Center’s quest to cure cancer, understand its causes, and promote ways to prevent cancer before it starts. These projects are led by 135 cancer research scientists supported by more than $68 million in grants each year from federal and other sources.

Norris Cotton Cancer Center is a world leader in cancer prevention and control research, seeking to identify nutritional, environmental, and lifestyle factors that may cause cancer. We help patients understand their cancer risk and work to prevent cancer-causing behaviors, such as tobacco use by children.

In concert with this research, our scientists are developing new drugs to stop cancers in the very earliest stages of growth. Our search for more effective ways to diagnose breast cancer includes devising new screening technologies. A growing area of research is directed at improving the quality of life for people with cancer.

Cancer Treatment
Norris Cotton Cancer Center coordinates all cancer care at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH, providing patients with a full range of treatment options. We strive to bring care as close to home as possible, working with patients’ personal physicians and local specialists to make appropriate therapy available throughout our region. Norris Cotton Cancer Center works closely with doctors and nurses at regional centers  in Keene, Manchester, and Nashua, NH, and in St. Johnsbury, VT, as well as at 12 affiliated hospitals  in northern New England to coordinate patient referral, treatment, and education.
