How Partners Contribute
TLCI relies on network partners to help drive our shared mission forward by:

The Latino Cancer Institute provides a vital connection with and between researchers and research agencies.
Our mutual issues of concern include:
Connect with us, increase your knowledge through partnerships and collaborations and contribute to research projects that will lead to improvements in Latino cancer education, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
The Latino Cancer Institute turns a spotlight on those scientific, medical and public health researchers working to making a difference on cancer in the Latino community. We want to acknowledge their efforts, while we increase our own knowledge and awareness about the most relevant cancer findings in order to disseminate practical information where applicable.
We are open to Spotlight submissions from the cancer research community for those specifically working in U.S. Latino/Hispanic populations.
