We work tirelessly to reduce the threat and impact of cancer. While cancer statistics can be startling, we have more tools and knowledge than ever to prevent and detect it. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will decrease your odds of cancer occurring. Getting screened for certain types of cancer can detect it early when treatment is more likely to be successful. https://bit.ly/3mcclRg

You can lower your colorectal cancer risk by eating fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains. These plant foods are rich in fiber, have a strong association with gut health, and help you stay full longer. Our dietitian’s tasty Tex Mex bowl is a great recipe for colorectal health and your pocketbook. It’s an inexpensive dish high in fiber and protein, and the recipe makes enough for several lunches or dinners. Enjoy!

Our Story

When you think of cancer, you might think of radiation and chemotherapy, but the fight against cancer is a wider battlefield involving prevention, survivorship and research. That is where the Moncrief Cancer Institute mission begins.

From the very beginning, Moncrief Cancer Institute has been a pioneer in cancer treatment and care.

Through the vision of Thomas B. Bond, MD, planning for a radiation center began soon after World War II. With the help of several key associations and prominent local citizens, a non-profit organization was created to facilitate the new center: The Radiation and Medical Research Foundation of the Southwest. This Foundation helped launch the concept of a true community radiation therapy center – the first such facility in the Southwest.

The Radiation Center began treating patients in August 1958. In 1966, a generous contribution by Mr. and Mrs. W.A. Moncrief and a matching federal grant funded an expansion of the facility. Within a decade, it became one of the top radiation facilities in the Southwest. An additional donation of $2.5 million by Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Moncrief led to another major expansion in 1979. Based on the continued generosity and guidance from the Moncrief family, the new facility was dedicated as the Moncrief Radiation Center in 1980.
