Treatments and Programs

Early detection and accurate diagnosis of cancer can mean the difference between an excellent outcome and one that is not so positive. The Cedars-Sinai Outpatient Cancer Center (OCC) uses the most advanced medical technology to quickly and accurately diagnose cancer.

The center offers a full range of services, provided entirely on an outpatient basis, 24 hours a day in a professional and compassionate atmosphere. As a result, patients need fewer emergency room visits and admissions to the hospital.

Physicians at the OCC use state-of-the-art technology and the latest medical advances to diagnose, treat and provide follow-up care for adult and pediatric cancer patients.

The OCC offers treatments for all cancer diagnoses. Its physicians, several listed in the Best Doctors in America, are experts in treating the following types of cancer:

  • Brain
