UCSD Moores Cancer Center

UCSD Moores Cancer Center is a hospital and research facility in La Jolla that brings treatment and scientific work together in one location. The complex houses specialized departments, laboratories, pharmacies, and infusion areas with modern medical equipment.

The facility was founded in 1978 and grew into a recognized research center. It has held its position as San Diego's only center of its kind recognized at the national level for comprehensive cancer work.

The center brings together 480 medical professionals and researchers who collaborate on developing treatments for more than 200 cancer types.

Visiting typically requires registration or advance scheduling for appointments and consultations. The facility is well laid out and offers various support services on site for people seeking care.

The center runs hundreds of clinical trials at the same time, which often gives patients early access to new treatments before they become widely available. This practice makes it a place where advances in cancer care are tested directly on patients.
