The San Antonio Cancer Institute (SACI) is the product of the mutual cancer research programs of The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) and Cancer Therapy and Research Center (CTRC). The two institutions have successfully worked together since 1974 in researching cancer treatment and prevention. Through their collaboration, the San Antonio Cancer Institute have been able to create five research programs that include Cancer Prevention and Population Science, Cancer-Related Bone Diseases, Experimental Therapeutics, Genomic Integrity and Carcinogenesis, and Geriatric Oncology.

The UTHSCSA is renowned for its strong and varied science programs and clinical research competence as well as its exceptional academic institution. Combining these important features with CTRC’s outpatient cancer treatment abilities and facilities strengthens the purpose and effectiveness of the SACI.
