As an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, the facility has won two Nobel Prizes, developed the hepatitis B vaccine – preventing millions of cancer deaths around the world – and discovered the first genetic link to cancer, which today is changing the future of cancer prevention, treatment, and survivorship.
• Fox Chase is a proud member of the Temple University Health System.
