UCSF pioneered AIDS care. Now we are pioneering anal cancer prevention research.
We are a team of highly dedicated clinicians and scientists at the UCSF Comprehensive Cancer Center on the Mt. Zion Medical Campus in San Francisco. The Anal Neoplasia Center for Research and Education, led by Dr. Joel Palefsky, is devoted to performing research that seeks to promote awareness of and screening for HSIL and anal cancer, identify the causes of HSIL and anal cancer, and develop new and better therapies for these diseases.
