Our commitment to early detection and prevention
Form Title
The Texas Cancer Interception Institute is committed to improving cancer care by shifting the focus toward earlier detection, earlier intervention and better outcomes. This work advances the science, infrastructure and clinical integration needed to make cancer interception a part of modern care.
A commitment to everyone—in Texas and beyond
We are intentionally building a more accessible approach to detecting cancer early—one that expands access across Texas to address long‑standing gaps in care. Our blueprint can be adapted well beyond our state, both nationally and internationally.
Navigation services
Expand oncology patient navigation and the creation of a digital navigation platform that will support people throughout their cancer journey.
Multi-cancer early detection (MCED)
Multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests, which have the potential to detect a wide range of cancers before symptoms appear.
MyBSWHealth App
With the MyBSWHealth App, you can manage your health from anywhere. With features like schedule an appointment and view test results, it's designed to help you stay on track to a healthier you.
The Texas Immuno-Oncology Biorepository (TIOB)
The Texas Immuno-Oncology Biorepository is a research facility that collects, catalogs and stores samples of biological material in an effort to improve our understanding of cancer.
High-Risk Breast Screening Program
The High-Risk Breast Screening Program helps patients at increased risk take proactive steps to reduce risk and support earlier detection of breast cancer.
Research and clinical trials
Our research can widen access to clinical trials and advanced treatments, increasing our capabilities to translate data into discoveries and working to improve cancer outcomes.

Can TCII connect me to a doctor?
TCII does not replace your healthcare provider or serve as a direct referral service. TCII supports programs, research and patient navigation efforts that help people better understand screening options, access care and move through the healthcare system more easily. If you have concerns about cancer risk or screening, we encourage you to speak with your primary care provider.
How is the Texas Cancer Interception Institute funded?
TCII is made possible through philanthropic support, industry partnerships and institutional investment. Gifts help advance research, expand patient navigation, build critical infrastructure and accelerate progress toward earlier cancer detection for future generations.
How is Texas Cancer Interception Institute different from a traditional cancer research institute?
TCII is focused specifically on intercepting cancer earlier—before it advances or becomes harder to treat. The goal is not just discovery, but real-world implementation that can help improve the lives of people living with cancer.
Who partners with the Texas Cancer Interception Institute?
TCII collaborates with physicians, researchers, health systems, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, community organizations and philanthropic partners who share a commitment to early cancer detection and equitable access to care. Partnerships include research collaboration, program development, data sharing or support for scalable models of early interception.
