UCI Health hematologic oncologists provide expert consultation and treatment for patients with many different types of cancer. These include malignancies of the blood such as leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma, as well as solid tumor carcinomas such as colon, breast and prostate. People diagnosed with cancer typically need a range of medical specialists, treatments and services, all of which are available at the UCI Health Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, Orange County's only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center.

We also offer the only adult hematopoietic stem‑cell transplant services in Orange County, which means that patients with leukemia, lymphoma and other cancers no longer need to travel long distances for this life‑saving treatment. Our oncologists are highly skilled in leading‑edge treatments and many also participate in clinical trials. We strive to provide the best possible care, tailored for each patient's individual needs.

We are recognized for delivering the highest quality care by the Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI) Certification Program, an affiliate of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
