One of the National Cancer Center(NCC)‘s most important functions
is to conduct its own research and support the Korean cancer community’s
research activities. As a cancer research hub of Korea, the NCC Research
Institute is striving to develop, through its intra- and extra-mural programs,
innovative technologies to prevent, diagnose, treat and predict cancer.
In doing so, research activities are centered around the six most common
cancers in Korea – stomach, liver, lung, colorectum, breast, cervix uteri.
In addition, the institute collects and analyses information on the latest global
trends in cancer research and disseminates data to the cancer community in Korea.
