Cancer Treatment Outcomes at City of Hope Los Angeles-Area Locations

At City of Hope®, we are known for our success treating all cancers types, including rare and complex cancers. Five- to 10-year survival rates for patients treated at City of Hope Cancer Center Duarte and surrounding locations are consistently better than those at most other medical centers for all stages of breast, lung and prostate cancers. We also offer one of the nation’s largest and most successful bone marrow transplant programs.

We achieve these successes thanks to a unique approach that combines clinical and research expertise. With scientists, physicians and drug manufacturing all located on our Duarte cancer center, we are able to develop treatments that add quality and years to patients’ lives.

Why Cancer Outcomes Matter

We use the National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program to measure and compare outcomes. We voluntarily monitor patient survival rates to:
  • Continually improve quality of care
  • Give patients and referring physicians a measure of how we’re doing
  • Show that City of Hope is one of the best places to receive cancer treatments, especially for advanced or recurring disease
  • Demonstrate value to health insurance providers and payers
