The UPR Comprehensive Cancer Center is a public cancer care institution in San Juan, Puerto Rico, that combines patient treatment with research, prevention, and outreach under a multidisciplinary framework. It operates a Research Center spanning basic, clinical, and population sciences and provides patient care through a Radiotherapy Center and a Comprehensive Cancer Hospital that opened in 2016. Created as a public corporation under Law 230 of 2004, the organization aims to address cancer, the island's second leading cause of death, through integrated prevention, detection, and treatment programs. Positioned as a research-driven health care provider, it seeks National Cancer Institute designation as a Comprehensive Cancer Center within about ten years, reflecting its long-term strategy. A recent development is a 2026 partnership with Vimenti to promote access to mammograms in vulnerable communities, illustrating its outreach and prevention focus.
