Nevada Cancer Institute (NVCI), founded in 2002, was the official cancer institute for the state of Nevada from 2003 to 2013, located in Summerlin, Nevada. The Institute became part of UC San Diego Health in February, 2012. A non-profit organization, NVCI served patients throughout the greater Las Vegas area, offering full-service clinics in Summerlin, Nevada, and at University Medical Center, in the downtown medical district. The Institute provided inpatient treatment services such as chemotherapy, radiation and diagnostic imaging services, as well as an array of clinical trials. The Institute’s mobile screening unit, the Hope Coach, has provided mammography services throughout the state. NVCI has served more than 17,000 patients since opening in 2005. The Institute was dedicated to providing innovative and collaborative cancer care, clinical trials and community education. The Institute became part of UC San Diego Health in February, 2012. In November 2013, Roseman University completed a merger with the former Nevada Cancer Institute Foundation that expedited Roseman's planning for a premier community-based medical school, the first allopathic medical school in Nevada. NVCI’s Ralph and Betty Engelstad Research Building provided the home for Roseman’s College of Medicine in Summerlin, which then continued to house NVCI researchers. BackgroundAs part of UC San Diego Health, Nevada Cancer Institute offered current and advanced cancer treatment options, with patient and family support services, to residents of Nevada.
