About Huntsman Cancer Institute
Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) at the University of Utah is the official cancer center of Utah. HCI's mission is to understand cancer from its beginning, to use that knowledge in the creation and improvement of cancer treatments, to relieve the suffering of cancer patients, and to provide education about cancer risk, prevention, and care. At any given time, HCI has 200 clinical trials open, and some trials are available to patients at clinics located in Utah's suburban areas and in neighboring states.

Visitor Policy
Huntsman Cancer Institute’s visitor policy recently changed as a result of our efforts to provide a safe environment for our patients, staff, and providers and reduce risk from COVID-19. Please check with your clinic before your visit for the most up-to-date information.
Note: Although the state of Utah ended a mask mandate as of April 10, 2021, masks are still required for everyone throughout Huntsman Cancer Institute.
