Cancer Diagnosis & Treatment
As one of the few programs in California with teaching-hospital level accreditation from the American College of Surgeons (ACOS) Commission on Cancer, we treat the most prevalent cancers in our community — with specialized programs for lung, breast and neurological cancers.
Other Cancers
In addition to the multidisciplinary clinics and programs we have designed around lung, breast and neurological cancers, we also treat the following cancers, conditions and disorders.
The most common type of bladder cancer is transitional cell carcinoma, also called urothelial carcinoma. Smoking is a major risk factor for bladder cancer, which can often be diagnosed at an early stage.

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer. The main types of skin cancer are squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Melanoma is much less common than the other types but much more likely to invade nearby tissue and spread to other parts of the body. Most deaths from skin cancer are caused by melanoma.
