Knight Cancer Institute

Knight Challenge to honor the “Knight Challenge.”

During this special 10th anniversary year, our dedicated donors and volunteers who make up the Knight Cancer Council have generously agreed to match Give Day donations to the Knight, while funds last. 

Creating a world without cancer

At the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, a world-class team of doctors and scientists is working to end cancer in three ways: through early detection, immunotherapy and precision medicine.

That’s because when we find cancer earlier, people live longer. When we empower the immune system to attack cancer cells, we reduce the need for toxic therapies. And when we find a patient’s exact cancer mutation, we can use personalized treatments that offer more hope for a positive outcome.

This multifaceted approach has made the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute an international leader in research and cancer treatment. And it's only possible because of the commitment and generosity of people like you. 

Research kills cancer. People like you make cancer research possible. 

Join OHSU in the mission to end cancer as we know it. 

Your gift is more important than ever.


Each dot represents one of the 10,000 people who generously donated to the Knight Cancer Challenge — a powerful reminder that every single gift contributes to our work to end the burden of cancer for those in our community and worldwide.
