Technology and Leadership

The Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute is home to some of the most advanced cancer-fighting technology in the world, including the Cyberknife Robotic Radiosurgery System and the da Vinci Robotic Surgery System. Our Breast Center features Delaware’s only dedicated breast MRI scanner. Our cancer clinical trials program is one of a select group of research centers in the country that participate in the National Cancer Institute’s NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP).

With one of the highest clinical-trial accrual rates in the United States, we are able to provide our female patients with access to the most promising new cancer treatments available. We are also leading the way in translational research, which allows doctors and laboratory researchers to collaborate in developing new solutions to challenges that may arise in the course of treating individual patients.
