Kimmel癌症中心位于托马斯杰斐逊大学（TJU）的校园内，是杰斐逊医学院的一部分，成立于1824年。杰斐逊医学院是美国最大的私立医学院之一，位于费城市中心（图3）。天津大学和天津大学医院的设施战略计划已经制定。KCC及其设施是校园的中心。放射治疗肿瘤学组（RTOG）的生物统计和行政办公室位于KCC几个街区。也是癌症合作组织联盟（CCCG）的总部。RTOG转化研究项目委员会由KCC RRTB项目负责人Dicker博士担任共同主席。Comis博士是KCC的新成员，他是德雷克塞尔大学的教员，是CCCG的总裁兼首席执行官，也是东部肿瘤协作组（ECOG）的主席。（德雷克塞尔大学除了在生物医学工程方面有优势外，还拥有医学院和医院校园）。费城有四所医学院和四个NCI指定的癌症中心（宾夕法尼亚大学，Wistar研究所，Fox Chase癌症中心和Kimmel癌症中心）。宾夕法尼亚州和Wistar的癌症中心距离Schuylkill河西侧的KCC大约20个街区。由于距离很近，宾夕法尼亚大学和Wistar大学的研究人员经常参加KCC的研讨会和活动，反之亦然。

CANCER CENTER FACILITIES The Kimmel Cancer Center is located on the campus of Thomas Jefferson University (TJU) and is part of Jefferson Medical College, founded in 1824. Jefferson Medical College is one of the largest private medical schools in the nation and is located in Center City Philadelphia (Fig. 3). The facilities strategic plan of TJU and TJUH has been developed. The KCC and its facilities are a centerpiece of the campus. The Biostatistical and Administrative offices of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) are located a few blocks from KCC. as are the headquarters of the Coalition of Cancer Cooperative Groups (CCCG). The RTOG Translational Research Program Committee is co-chaired by Dr. Dicker, leader of the KCC's RRTB program. Dr. Comis, a new KCC Member, who is a faculty member of Drexel University, is the President and CEO of the CCCG and Group Chair of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG). (Drexel University has a medical school and hospital campus in addition to strengths in biomedical engineering). Philadelphia has four medical schools and four NCI-designated Cancer Centers (University of Pennsylvania, Wistar Institute, Fox Chase Cancer Center and Kimmel Cancer Center). The Cancer Centers at Penn and Wistar are, approximately 20 blocks away from the KCC on the west side of the Schuylkill River. Because of this small distance, Penn and Wistar investigators often attend KCC seminars and functions and vice versa.
