National Cancer Prevention Center - German Cancer Research Center

The National Cancer Prevention Center was initiated in 2019 by the DKFZ and German Cancer Aid as part of a long-term strategic partnership. It brings together the DKFZ's existing research activities under one roof and integrates research, education and training, public outreach, policy advice, and outreach initiatives. Together with its partners, the National Cancer Prevention Center further develops cancer prevention and systematically expands it throughout Germany.
