It’s Genetic Counselor Appreciation Day, and we celebrate the UT Southwestern Simmons Cancer Center cancer genetic counselors. They identify individuals at an increased risk for cancer based on their personal and family history; educate patients on hereditary cancer and genetic testing options; and discuss the impact of genetic testing results with patients and their families. They see patients in Dallas, in Fort Worth at Moncrief Cancer Institute, and virtually.

Genetic counselors aim to empower individuals with a high risk to live proactively to reduce the risk of cancer or diagnose cancer at an early, more treatable stage. We are grateful for our team’s work to increase awareness of hereditary cancer. More info: https://bit.ly/3G4mYlb

Our Story

When you think of cancer, you might think of radiation and chemotherapy, but the fight against cancer is a wider battlefield involving prevention, survivorship and research. That is where the Moncrief Cancer Institute mission begins.

From the very beginning, Moncrief Cancer Institute has been a pioneer in cancer treatment and care.

Through the vision of Thomas B. Bond, MD, planning for a radiation center began soon after World War II. With the help of several key associations and prominent local citizens, a non-profit organization was created to facilitate the new center: The Radiation and Medical Research Foundation of the Southwest. This Foundation helped launch the concept of a true community radiation therapy center – the first such facility in the Southwest.

The Radiation Center began treating patients in August 1958. In 1966, a generous contribution by Mr. and Mrs. W.A. Moncrief and a matching federal grant funded an expansion of the facility. Within a decade, it became one of the top radiation facilities in the Southwest. An additional donation of $2.5 million by Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Moncrief led to another major expansion in 1979. Based on the continued generosity and guidance from the Moncrief family, the new facility was dedicated as the Moncrief Radiation Center in 1980.
