Scripps Cancer Center
A network of care
Scripps Health is committed to combating cancer. That’s why we mobilized the collective resources of five hospital campuses, our affiliated physicians and a renowned research center to form the Scripps Cancer Center. These providers work collaboratively toward prevention, early detection and coordinated treatment.
Scripps Cancer Center is one of only two Network Cancer Programs in California, as designated by the American College of Surgeons.
Multidisciplinary and collaborative
The center’s multidisciplinary approach ensures a comprehensive treatment plan that pairs leading-edge technology with an experienced, respectful care staff who are sensitive to the whole person and a range of healing approaches.
Patients benefit from a collective array of cancer-specific personnel and services, as well as vigorous dialog between researchers and clinicians that brings the latest medical knowledge bedside.
Throughout treatment, a patient’s care team members meet regularly in cancer conferences to keep up to date on that specific patient’s needs and progress. This collaborative approach ensures that the expertise of a number of medical professionals works concertedly to develop an optimal, individualized care plan.
Implementation of these care options begins in conversation with the patient: What are his or her goals, and how can we best proceed together?
