Department Overview
Oregon State Cancer Registry (OSCaR) is a statewide, population-based registry that collects and analyzes information about cancer cases occurring in Oregon. The mission of the Oregon State Cancer Registry is to collect complete, quality cancer data that supports cancer research and public health practices designed to improve efforts in the screening, treatment and survivorship of all people in Oregon affected by cancer.
The OHSU Knight Cancer Institute is a pioneer in personalized cancer treatment and research, led by Dr. Brian Druker, whose development of Gleevec transformed Chronic Myeloid Leukemia from a fatal disease to a manageable one and proved that targeted therapies can work. The institute focuses on precision oncology, the early detection, prevention, and treatment of cancer, and creating a welcoming and supportive environment for its caregivers, researchers, and support personnel. Knight affiliates subscribe to three guiding principles: we are bold, we are supportive, and we work as a connected team in our fight to end cancer as we know it. We’d love for you to join us!
