THE CITY OF HOPE DIFFERENCE: EXTRAORDINARY CANCER CARE CLOSE TO HOME

City of Hope is a world leader in cancer research, treatment and prevention. Here, doctors partner with scientists to transform laboratory breakthroughs into treatments that outsmart cancer, as well as diabetes and other lifethreatening diseases.

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.

U.S. News & World Report has ranked us among the country’s elite cancer hospitals for more than a decade.

Most important, at City of Hope our goal is to care for the whole person, so that life during treatment and after cancer can be rich and rewarding. 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.

City of Hope Helford Clinical Research Hospital is the inpatient care center at City of Hope. City of Hope’s Spirit of Life® fountain depicts our belief in the sanctity of life and the fundamental role of the family in fostering health and well-being.

INNOVATIONS AND BREAKTHROUGHS

City of Hope’s reputation for scientific excellence stems from our determination to aggressively pursue new lines of inquiry. With our scientists, clinical staff and manufacturing specialists working side-by-side, advances in treatment can travel from laboratory to patient with lifesaving speed.

Numerous breakthrough cancer drugs, including Herceptin, Erbitux, Rituxan and Avastin, are based on technology pioneered by City of Hope and are saving lives worldwide. Every new treatment we create gives people the chance to live longer, better and more fully. Bone marrow transplants offer a second chance for people with life-threatening blood cancers, and we have one of the largest, most successful transplant programs in the U.S.

Surgeons at City of Hope have performed more than 12,000 robotic procedures for prostate, kidney, colon, liver, bladder, gynecologic, oral and other cancers.

We are also among the worldwide leaders in administering clinical trials. Our patients have access to hundreds of clinical trials investigating potentially
