About the Practice and Mission
At the Beverly Hills Cancer Center, our primary goal is to cure every patient’s cancer. Since we know that in many cases advanced-stage cancers cannot be cured, our next goal is to make cancer a chronic disease, with which our patients can live and lead relatively normal lives. We accomplish our goals daily in our Los Angeles facility, which provides state-of-the-art, cutting-edge medical treatment, and caring attention to the mind, body and soul of each and every patient. With this fusion of science and caring, we aim to provide our patients with the best possible healing, and pride ourselves for being one of the best cancer treatment centers internationally.
As a private, comprehensive facility, Beverly Hills Cancer Center provides state-of-the-art cancer treatment under one roof. Our facilities include an innovative radiation oncology center, a soothing and spacious infusion center, a full-service diagnostic imaging center (with MRI, CT, PET/CT, and Bone Scan technology), and a complete, award-winning diagnostic laboratory. We also conduct some of the world’s leading clinical trials for cancer treatment right here in our facility — making ours one of the top cancer centers in Los Angeles and worldwide.
Driven by our unique model and goal to provide exceptional and personalized care, we have become the only private comprehensive cancer treatment facility in Southern California. By combining advanced treatment modalities and technologies, in a soothing environment with caring physicians and staff, we are able to provide maximum peace of mind for patients. While such things may seem like a luxury to some, here at the Beverly Hills Cancer Center we understand that a tranquil, stress-free environment is integral to the healing process.
