Our vision at City of Hope is to create a world-class Cutaneous Oncology Program that brings together clinicians, clinician scientists and  and laboratory researchers across the institution to gain a better understanding of cutaneous oncology and to develop better treatments, screening methods, prevention strategies and survivorship care for them.

Our outpatient facility located on our Duarte, CA campus serves as a central hub for patients to have access to the full range of health care professionals, including not only physician specialists, but nurses, genetic counselors, schedulers, social workers, financial counselors, supportive care staff and other health specialists. In addition, our reach extends throughout our extensive network for care delivery.  Our cutaneous oncology program is comprised of extensive dedicated disease teams that drive translational research at COH National Cancer Institute with many open trials.
