Disease‑Specific Cancer Research

Our multidisciplinary research team is discovering risk factors and pinpointing cancer-causing genes, reducing the long-term effects of treatment and developing more precise therapies — including for metastatic disease.

By studying the molecular underpinnings of gastrointestinal tumors, including those that are more frequently found at more advanced stages like colorectal and pancreatic cancers, our researchers are on the vanguard of novel prevention and treatment strategies tailored to individuals.

Fred Hutch researchers have made revolutionary advances to treat — and cure — blood cancers, from the Nobel Prize–winning development of bone marrow transplantation to our expanding toolbox of immunotherapies. Our work in this area continues to break new ground as we improve diagnosis, treatment and quality of life for patients.

For decades, our research has helped people with prostate cancer live longer and better. Now, we are making strides toward a precision oncology future: discovering which patients will benefit most from which treatments and working to improve outcomes for all.

Research Priorities You Can Support

You can also champion interdisciplinary priorities that are accelerating research across multiple types of cancer. Our highly collaborative teams are building on the breadth and depth of our expertise by taking what they learn in one area to jumpstart progress in many others.

Thanks to emerging technologies, experts at the Stuart and Molly Sloan Precision Oncology Institute and across Fred Hutch are using vast amounts of data to tailor cancer prevention and care strategies to each individual — and the molecular makeup of their tumor.

Building on the development of bone marrow transplants that helped launch the field of immunotherapy, our scientists are discovering new ways to tap into the immune system’s inherent disease-fighting power to target cancer cells while avoiding healthy cells.

Real-world progress comes from answering fundamental questions about how cells work — so we know what goes wrong in diseases like cancer. When we push science forward, we also accelerate the timeline for new discoveries to reach those in our community who don’t have time to wait.
