The Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center is a patient care, research, and educational organization within the Indiana University School of Medicine , located on the school's main campus in Indianapolis. 

Healthcare providers at IU Health Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center not only offer the highest level of patient care but many are engaged in research. As the only National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer center in the state of Indiana, IU Health Simon Cancer Center’s researchers are recognized for meeting rigorous criteria for world-class, state-of-the-art programs in multidisciplinary cancer research. NCI-designated cancer centers put significant resources into developing research programs, faculty and facilities that will lead to better approaches to prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

In 2022, the IU Health Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center was admitted as a member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, an alliance of 32 leading cancer centers devoted to patient care, research and education.

The mission is to advance the understanding, prevention and treatment of cancer throughout Indiana and the world with patient-centered care, acceleration of promising science and collaborative educational programs. Research is vigorous, innovative and devoted to taking improved cancer care into the future. In all, more than 200 physicians, nurses, social workers, techologists and researchers are working to develop cures for cancer.

That teamwork leads to clinical breakthroughs, such as turning the cure rate of testicular cancer from 10 percent to nearly 95 percent today, among many others. The benefits to patients are clear: a wide range of innovative treatment options, expert teams of diverse professionals focused on their specific cancer type, and attention to all cancer care needs in one setting.
