One of the center's adult specialties is nationally ranked. It's a facility where cancer patients are treated exclusively. The hospital is an educational institution.
Although City of Hope was established in 1913, it didn't focus on cancer until the late 1940s. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) first recognized City of Hope as a biomedical research, treatment, and teaching institution in 1981. In 1998, the institution was designated as a comprehensive cancer center.
At the Center, over two hundred physicians and scientists are dedicated to developing novel strategies for the fight against cancer. In this vibrant interdisciplinary environment, scientists from a wide range of disciplines work closely together, including fundamental science, clinical research, translational medicine, and disease prevention and control.
Their ongoing work includes investigating the biomedical mechanisms of cancer genesis and progression, developing new treatments, testing those treatments in clinical trials, and, lastly, offering the best possible patient care and support along with patient and family education and information sharing. The study closes knowledge gaps regarding cancer risk assessment and prevention. Two examples of discoveries made at City of Hope that were initially made in the context of basic research and are now used to therapy are recombinant DNA technology and monoclonal antibodies.
