As part of the Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute, the Cedars-Sinai Outpatient Cancer Center (OCC) offers a multidisciplinary professional and support team dedicated exclusively to cancer care. Patients of the OCC have access to a complete range of medical specialists and treatments they need all in one location.
Many of the center's physicians are published authors who have been nationally and internationally recognized for their outstanding cancer research. The OCC provides a unique, open environment where staff and attending physicians collaborate on achieving the best care and most effective treatments for cancer patients. In fact, the OCC has general oncology and multiple disease-specific tumor boards where patients' specific medical conditions are reviewed for the best possible courses of treatment.
To ensure the most complete continuum of care, the specialized team at the OCC works with patients' referring physicians to determine the best courses of treatment for each patient.
