The USC/Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center and Hospital is located on the USC Health Sciences Campus east of downtown Los Angeles. Combining research and patient care, as well as extensive programs in cancer prevention and education, the USC/Norris Cancer Center was one of the eight original cancer centers in the nation to be designated as comprehensive by the National Cancer Institute (NCI).

Today, the hospital portion of the Cancer Center is one of a small number of hospitals nationwide devoted to treating cancer patients.

Staffed by health care providers experienced in the medical and psychosocial care of cancer patients, the USC/Norris Hospital has a 60-bed inpatient facility with acute and critical care services, as well as outpatient services.

Treatment options are vast, including surgery and radiation therapy, the most modern approaches to chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. Facilities include a designated bone marrow transplantation unit, a surgical unit and state-of-the-art radiation therapy suite.

At USC/Norris Hospital, patients benefit from an emphasis on translational research, which seeks to rapidly translate new findings in the laboratory into clinically effective treatments, and clinical research offers patients access to new and experimental therapies not yet available at other medical centers.
