Cancer Types We Treat
We provide expert care for a wide range of cancers. Our multidisciplinary team treats both common and complex cancers.
Our Approach to Cancer Care
At Cancer Center of Southern California, we follow a multidisciplinary and integrated approach to cancer treatment. We bring together specialists from multiple fields to design the most effective treatment strategy for each patient.
Our team works closely with surgeons, pathologists, radiologists, and radiation oncologists from leading institutions like UCLA, USC, Stanford, MD Anderson, St. John’s, and Cedars-Sinai. This collaboration ensures that we are able to address all aspects of cancer care effectively.
Personalized Cancer Treatment Plans
We create personalized, multimodal treatment plans that may combine one or more standard cancer treatment methods. Every plan is highly individualized, taking into account the stage and grade of the tumor, prior treatments, overall health, and personal factors, such as age and lifestyle.
Your treatment plan may include a combination of one or more of the following:
- Surgery
- Chemotherapy
- Radiation therapy
- Immunotherapy
- Targeted cancer therapy
We participate in new clinical trials that allow patients access to innovative therapies and medications that are not widely available. This is especially valuable for patients with complex cases or cancers that have not responded to conventional treatments.
Focus on Overall Well-Being
Our philosophy combines standard medical care with innovative complementary approaches.
While our integrated treatment plans focus on clinically proven therapies, we also explore ways to supplement your care with supportive measures. These focus on maintaining quality of life, managing side effects, and helping patients navigate treatment with greater comfort and confidence.
Above all, we respect each patient as an individual and understand the challenges a cancer diagnosis can bring. Discovering a cancerous tumor in the body can be crushing, but our team takes the time to answer your questions and guide you, helping you make informed decisions throughout your care journey.
