Peking Union Medical University. Cancer Institute ^{R&D Centre}

Originally called Ritan Hospital, the Cancer Hospital at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS) was established in 1958. The Cancer Institute was launched in 1963 and subsequently established field prevention centers in the high-risk cancer areas of Linzhou in Henan Province, and Qidong in Jiangsu Province. In 1983, the hospital moved to the edge of Longtan Lake in the southeastern part of Beijing and officially changed its name to the Cancer Hospital. It is the first national hospital and remains the leading hospital among all cancer hospitals in China. It is also certified by the China Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a National Clinical Research Organization for Drugs and as the Cancer Quality Control Center of the National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC). The Cancer Hospital integrates medical care, education, research, and prevention to address all aspects of cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
