Cancer is a disease rooted in the social, cultural, economic structure of society, social behaviors, decisions of policy makers and politicians, individual behaviors as well as functions of cells and their constituent elements. In our country, the third leading cause of death is cancer, and about 110 people die every day due to the cancer. Iran ranks fourth in the burden of diseases and the minimum cost of this disease is $ 6 trillion per year.About 90,000 new cases of cancer are found in the country every year so that its distribution of which will vary according to the variety of diseases in the geography of the country. Considering the survival of affected patients, on average, there are about 300-350 thousand cancer patients in the country. Cancer is a disease requiring teamwork and interdisciplinary expertise as well as is never treated an individual or in the form of a field. Therefore, it is necessary to establish research centers for conducting research related to cancer and obtain epidemiological and biological information in different parts of the country.Fighting against cancer to eradicate it is the goal of all cancer research centers. The Cancer Research Center (CRC) through unremitting efforts of researchers and their interdisciplinary collaboration hopes to find new ways to diagnose cancer more early-stage, detect more effective treatments with fewer complications, deal with the development and spread of cancer as well as solve domestic problems using existing solutions around the world.The CRC was established with the cooperation and efforts of the founding members and the support of the Vice Chancellor of Research and Technology of the University with an independent statute in 2009. The center has started its activity via examining cancer and its types, specifically examining common cancers in the country, improving the quality of life, increasing hope in cancer patients, communicating with doctors and specialists in the field of cancer, familiarity with screening methods and early diagnosis of cancer and so on. Then, via cooperation and continuous efforts of the CRC members and support of the Vice Chancellor of Research and Technology of the University, the CRC was able to receive an “agreement in principle” on 7/08/2016.The CRC has made scientific efforts in all types of basic, applied and developmental research. Currently, laboratory, clinical, statistical and demographic researches have been carried out in basic and applied groups.
