Established in 1978, UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center is San Diego’s only NCI-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. Its unique blend of cancer research and patient care is transforming cancer prevention, detection, and care. From basic research in genomics, oncogenic states, cancer network maps and advanced personalized medicine, immunotherapy and stem cell therapies, Moores Cancer Center is at the forefront in developing promising new therapies and bench-to-bedside innovations. It also offers the latest surgical technologies and more than 300 interventional treatment trials available to patients today.
Because every cancer is different and every patient responds differently, physicians at Moores Cancer Center do not simply treat disease, they treat each person. A multidisciplinary clinical team involves specialists in medical, surgical, and radiation oncology, as well as pathology, diagnostic radiology, and nuclear medicine. Clinical care includes Magnet-accredited nursing, behavioral counseling, social work, and genetic counseling. Together, they meet regularly for and with each patient to discuss the best options available. Moores Cancer Center offers precision immunotherapies, and nearly all patients undergo advanced genomic sequencing and clinical-grade liquid biopsies so that treatment decisions can be made in conjunction with a specialized Molecular Tumor Board.
