About us
UCSF Health is home to nearly 50 cancer clinics in more than a dozen specialties, with locations in San Francisco, Berkeley, Greenbrae, Redwood City and San Mateo. Our Cancer Center was the first in the Bay Area to receive the prestigious "comprehensive" designation from the National Cancer Institute. With cutting-edge facilities, comprehensive care programs and innovative research, we help patients with all forms of cancer live longer, fuller lives.
As a top recipient of research grants from the National Cancer Institute, we're continually advancing the understanding and treatment of cancer. These advances include immunotherapy, which harnesses the patient’s own immune system to fight cancer; treatments that target the molecular biology of cancer cells; and minimally invasive surgical procedures.
