View our history Our Mission Annual Report Our Diversity Financials Why Choose City of Hope? Cancer Today Treating cancer begins with understanding that cancer is different than other health conditions. It is highly complex, with hundreds of different cancer sub-types. Optimal care and outcomes require treatment by experts who specialize in your specific type of cancer, understand the genetics of your disease, and deliver a patient-centric approach throughout the entire cancer journey. Today we are witnessing a decrease in cancer mortality rates in the U.S., which validates the clinical innovation and integrated care that City of Hope delivers. A National Leader In Cancer Care Founded in 1913, City of Hope is a national leader in cancer care. We provide each patient with an individualized, comprehensive care experience and deliver the highest quality treatment and expertise. We are one of only 51 National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the U.S. The NCI designation recognizes excellence in treatment, research and expertise to address the many faces of the disease, whether in early or late stage, and for common or rare types of cancer. City of Hope is also proud to be a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), reflecting our national leadership in advancing research and treatment. NCCN member institutions are recognized for their world-renowned experts and for treating complex, rare and aggressive forms of cancer. Most importantly, we firmly believe in providing value across the entire patient journey. At City of Hope, this is measured by the experiences and outcomes that our treatments and dedicated team provide. Our goal is to care for the whole person, so that life during treatment and after cancer can be rich and rewarding. Our Unique Approach To The Delivery Of Care For You And Your Loved Ones Compassion and discovery are at the heart of our approach. Thanks to the expertise and dedication of our physicians and staff, we can treat rare and complex cancers that others cannot. Our scientists, clinicians and specialists work under one roof, meaning that each patient receives coordinated care from a team of physicians. City of Hope patients benefit from our extraordinary capabilities and leading-edge technology advances such as the application of robotics to remove disease and the use of innovative methods to deliver chemotherapy to treat tumors that would otherwise be unreachable; the use of genetically re-engineered white cells to target and attack a patient’s cancer cells; and the use of advanced imaging techniques to more precisely deliver radiation therapy. Our support also extends to our community through our network of clinical locations. We work with our patients and their families at each step of the journey, providing interdisciplinary supportive services, including psychology, patient education, support groups such as Couples Coping With Cancer, social work, physical and occupational therapy, and nutritional and financial counseling. Underpinning this approach is our excellence in turning tomorrow’s treatments into today’s tailored patient plans and therapies. We are committed to delivering the most leading-edge treatment options to our patients and discovering new ways to combat a wide variety of cancers. Delivering Optimal Outcomes For Our Patients NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers like City of Hope are the reason that cancer mortality rates have fallen over the past four decades. City of Hope consistently demonstrates higher survival rates and better outcomes, compared to other health care providers. Our patients recognize our commitment and our ability to provide life-changing outcomes.
