Affiliation with UC San Francisco
The more your oncologist knows about your cancer—and the tools available to treat that cancer—the better your healing will be. At the Martin-O’Neil Cancer Center, your oncologist has an incredible resource: the University of California San Francisco.
The Martin-O’Neil Cancer Center began its affiliation with the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) for clinical trials and expert referrals in 2010. UCSF is one of only 51 cancer centers in the nation with the National Cancer Institute’s Comprehensive Cancer Center designation. This designation is the NCI’s highest ranking.
In addition to clinical trials, cancer physicians from the Martin-O’Neil Cancer Center have the opportunity to review select cases at the UCSF interdisciplinary tumor boards to determine the best course of treatment and assure patient access to the most advanced therapies. This means your oncologist may talk about your cancer with some of the best cancer experts available.
