World-Class Cancer Care in Los Angeles

At Providence Cancer Institute in Los Angeles, the brightest minds are treating cancer and the biggest hearts are treating you. We provide world-class cancer care close to home for people throughout Los Angeles County.

Why Choose Us for Cancer Care?

From diagnosis to recovery, we see the life in you. You’ll have access to leading-edge cancer services close to home – all in our beautiful, modern hospitals equipped with the latest technologies.

We offer the largest, most comprehensive regional genetic counseling program west of the Mississippi. We partner with the Ambry Genetics CARE Program to help our doctors detect cancer earlier and determine a risk-reduction or personalized treatment plan with you. We also use the multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test by GRAIL. Providence has been at the forefront of research into this test, which can detect more than 50 types of cancer through a single blood draw.

You’ll receive the highest level of specialty care possible. Every one of our physicians is board-certified in their specialty area. And we take a multidisciplinary, team-based approach to your cancer treatment: radiologists, surgeons, pathologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, genetic counselors and research associates collaborate across multiple locations to provide convenient, connected care close to your home or work.

Providence Holy Cross Medical Center and Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center Torrance have partnered with the City of Hope research institute and hospital to provide quality care across all settings. They do this with leading-edge diagnostic services and some of the most advanced cancer treatments and clinical trials.

Our cancer care is always highly personalized. Your care team works with you to design a treatment plan that fits your personal needs. Our spectrum of care includes support services such as nutrition, genetic counseling, pain management and spiritual care – all to care for your body, mind and spirit. Your local oncology team also receives input from our multidisciplinary tumor boards, where a team of oncology experts discusses patient cases and makes sure you’re getting the very best, timely treatment.

As part of our patient-centered treatment, we have a comprehensive patient navigator program. It offers navigators specific to each cancer type to assist you throughout your cancer journey. They coordinate your cancer care with your primary care physician, provide support to ease your stress and guide you every step of the way, from diagnosis through treatment and beyond.

Providence is known for offering options – and hope – to patients seeking advanced procedures and therapies to treat their cancer. The Providence Cancer Institute in Los Angeles has robust research labs not usually found in local, community-focused hospitals. We have been involved in many immunotherapy trials that have led to FDA approval of medications now in use, such as one used to treat lung and breast cancers. As our patient, you have the opportunity to participate in our 1,300+ clinical trials systemwide to develop new cancer therapies.

Cancer doesn’t discriminate, but access to great cancer care hasn’t always been the same for everyone. At Providence, we are deeply committed to making sure every patient we treat has access to the best cancer care. As part of this commitment, we partner with Stand Up to Cancer (SU2C) on a program called Community Health Action Teams (CHATS). Through CHATS, we work with community churches to help promote colorectal screening and early detection.

We value, respect and support the racial, ethnic, religious, spiritual, gender and sexual identities of each member of our diverse communities. In keeping with our Mission, Providence offers financial assistance programs that provide free and low-cost care to those who are eligible.

We’ve been caring for the people of Los Angeles County for more than 40 years. The Providence Cancer Institute in Los Angeles features world-class oncologists at six cancer centers throughout the region. As a Providence patient, you have access to the largest community-based cancer network in the United States. This means that your local cancer care team shares knowledge and experience with other world-class clinicians across Providence’s 51 hospitals in seven states. The power of our network is one of the reasons more than 7,000 newly diagnosed cancer patients in Los Angeles County choose us for their cancer care each year.
