University of California Comprehensive Cancer Centers

A cancer diagnosis is personal. Your treatment should be too. Today, cancer treatments are increasingly based on your genes and how they interact with your specific cancer type.

University of California’s five Comprehensive Cancer Centers are leaders in developing these personalized treatments—known as precision medicine—along with other innovative treatments.

The University of California Cancer Consortium brings together our five National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers. Some of the world’s leading cancer physicians, researchers and clinicians at our centers actively share research, clinical trials and best practices. They do this to continually advance cancer care across California and beyond.

Our Cancer Expertise

Our Comprehensive Cancer Centers treat all types of cancers in adults and children.

Nearly half of the patients seen at a UC cancer center have late-stage cancers. These include patients diagnosed for the first time at a UC cancer center — and patients diagnosed elsewhere and referred by physicians to UC for specialized care. Starting your care here can make a difference.

We offer clinical trials and specialized therapies that are not widely available, including CAR T-cell therapy and precision medicine with molecular profiling and genomic sequencing.

How Academic Medicine Improves Care

Academic health centers treat the most challenging cases because of the experience, technology and expertise of our physicians and researchers.

University of California Health physicians and researchers are not just providing the most up-to-date cancer care, they are developing it and setting standards for care. And they share this knowledge across our health centers.

That level of collaboration and innovation leads to better diagnosis and better treatment—for all patients across our hospitals.
