Orange County is known around the country for its innovation. City of Hope Orange County Lennar Foundation Cancer Center in Irvine, the most advanced comprehensive cancer center in Orange County, will bring more medical innovation to the area, contributing to the region’s status as a focal point for technology and world-changing ideas.

Here, physician-scientists will conduct Phase 1-3 clinical trials at a dedicated clinical research unit and an infusion center to provide patients with pioneering treatments long before they become standard of care.

Additional distinguishing services will include:

• ACCLAIMED CANCER EXPERTISE: Access to City of Hope’s 575 physicians and more than 1,000 researchers and scientists who only focus on cancer.

• LIFESAVING CLINICAL TRIALS: Access to nearly 1,000 innovative Phase 1-3 clinical trials being conducted at City of Hope each year — more cancer-focused clinical trials than anywhere in the area.

• BREAKTHROUGH TREATMENTS: Targeted immunotherapies, including CAR T cell therapy, as well as bone marrow transplants, robotic minimally invasive surgeries and MRI-guided radiation oncology. These innovations have demonstrated improved outcomes and a better quality of life for patients in treatment.

• LEADING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY: The latest and most comprehensive suite of market-leading radiology, interventional radiology and radiation oncology equipment, providing a powerful combination of high tech and high touch.

• INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE: A trailblazing integrative medicine program combining the best of Western medicine and evidence-based complementary therapies, such as acupuncture, massage and meditation.

• CANCER PREVENTION: Programs that identify people and families with elevated cancer risk utilizing genetic risk assessments, biomarker panels and environmental surveys to help manage that risk.

• PRECISION MEDICINE: Best-in-class genomic testing to profile a patient’s tumor and determine the treatment that will be most effective for their cancer.

• A CLINICAL RESEARCH UNIT: The epicenter for clinical investigational research that speeds the development of new drugs and interventions to the bedside, allowing patients to receive the latest treatments in cancer care.

The outpatient cancer center will be seamlessly connected to Orange County’s only specialty cancer hospital exclusively focused on treating and curing cancer, opening in 2025.

City of Hope Orange County’s cancer care network currently includes four regional clinics — two in Newport Beach, one in Huntington Beach and one in Irvine. The cancer center, the regional clinics and the planned hospital will create Orange County’s largest network dedicated exclusively to cancer treatment and cures.
