The Moores UCSD Cancer Center Provides  Unique Expertise and Treatment for Urologic Cancer Patients

The Moores UCSD Cancer Center is one of just 41 National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the United States. Such centers are prominent among the leading institutions in the nation dedicated to scientific innovation and clinical excellence. UCSD is the only Comprehensive Cancer Center in San Diego and Imperial counties to have earned this honor.

In 2008, U.S. News and World Report ranked the UCSD Medical Center 43rd in the nation for cancer treatment. The rankings identify centers that take on and excel at tough procedures and conditions, as well as conduct bench-to-bedside research.


Our unique model for providing patient care features a multidisciplinary team approach. These teams include specialists from a variety of disciplines such as medical, surgical and radiation oncology, pathology, diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, nursing, social work, genetic counseling and more, who meet regularly to discuss the best options available for each patient. Using the advice from this group of experts, patients can then decide with their primary physician on the best course of treatment.
