Hillman Cancer Center is home to internationally regarded surgical, medical and radiation oncology specialists, who perform treatment procedures unavailable elsewhere in the region. The Center also has the region's most advanced imaging technologies to detect cancer and monitor treatment. Hillman Cancer Center is also home to a component of the National Institutes of Health-funded General Clinical Research Center, which also provides support for the conduct of clinical trials.

Beyond clinical care, Hillman Cancer Center also has a full range of services to help patients better cope with cancer. Patients and their families have access to a wide array of educational, counseling, nutritional and genetic resources.

The 2002 opening of Hillman Cancer Center was made possible through the generosity of Henry L. Hillman and the Hillman Foundations, as well as support from the Shadyside Hospital Foundation, individuals, foundations, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the National Cancer Institute.
