USC/Norris Cancer Center Facilities

In 1973, the USC/Norris Cancer Center was recognized by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) as one of the first eight comprehensive cancer centers in the country. Today, there are 40 such cancer centers in the nation. What makes our comprehensive center different from other medical institutions treating cancer? The answer can be found in our multidisciplinary team approach to cancer research, patient care, prevention and community outreach.

At USC/Norris, patients benefit from research teams working hand in hand with physicians and other medical staff who prescribe clinical trials and individualized patient care. Our laboratory-to-bedside structure, which we call translational research, means that USC/Norris patients can receive breakthrough treatment not yet available at other medical centers.

USC/Norris provides comprehensive care for patients in our hospital, outpatient clinics and day hospital. We are dedicated to fighting the battle against cancer with our patients, their families and friends. Our physicians all hold faculty positions in the Keck School of Medicine of USC, and treat all cancers. Though USC/Norris does not treat pediatric tumors, USC/Norris and Keck School faculty treat pediatric cancer at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles.
