Providence Swedish today announced the official opening of the Paul G. Allen Research Center at Providence Swedish Cancer Institute (PSCI). The new center takes a highly collaborative, sophisticated approach to improving the experience and outcome for every cancer patient by advancing modern oncology research to transform clinical care and treatment.
The center’s research portfolio is divided among three independent, but complimentary, research pillars focused on prevention, exploration and treatment. The Initiative for Prevention and Early Detection – led by Charles Drescher, M.D. – investigates the genesis of cancer, focused on ways to prevent cancers before they start and ways to detect them as early as possible.
