Visitor Guidelines
For the safety and comfort of our patients, we ask that children 12 and under not accompany you to the clinic, infusion or radiation oncology visits. We understand this may be inconvenient and are here to help. Don't hesitate to get in touch with your health care team if you have any questions or need support.

Clinical Trials
Advancing Cancer Care and Prevention
UC San Diego Health physicians are actively researching ways to improve cancer care. By joining a clinical trial, you may receive a new cancer treatment before it is available to the public. If your cancer has not responded to standard therapies, talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial could be right for you.
