## TL;DR

Cleveland Clinic is a top US hospital with a Comprehensive Cancer Center (with Case Western) and a TNBC preventive vaccine programme.

## Summary

Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Institute is the cancer arm of a top US hospital, NCI-designated as comprehensive through its partnership in the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center with Case Western, and twentieth in the Newsweek/Statista oncology ranking. It is best known in OnCo for Vincent K. Tuohy's alpha-lactalbumin preventive vaccine for triple-negative breast cancer, which is in phase 1, and for strengths in genitourinary oncology and haematology, with Eric A. Klein, Jaroslaw P. Maciejewski and Jame Abraham among its people. OnCo links it to work on bariatric surgery and cancer incidence, to the idea of joining bariatric and GLP-1 registries to cancer registries, and to Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi and the Ellison Institute of Technology. Whether a preventive vaccine can be proved in healthy women is the open question its flagship programme faces. Its programmes are listed below.
