Referring a Patient to City of Hope Duarte: Resources & Forms

Bringing Tomorrow’s Cures to Those Who Need them Today

For more than 100 years, the doctors, researchers and other clinicians of City of Hope^® have provided patients with personalized treatment, leading-edge care and access to world-class research and innovation.

As one of the few facilities in the United States designated as a comprehensive cancer center by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, City of Hope is consistently ranked among the nation’s “Best Hospitals” for cancer by U.S. News & World Report.

City of Hope’s doctors and scientists are dedicated to advancing cancer care throughout the world by discovering new treatments and pioneering new cures. Our goal is to speed scientific breakthroughs into practical benefit for patients worldwide. Each year, City of Hope conducts more than 850 clinical trials that enroll more than 7,000 patients.

Innovation at Work

At City of Hope, we’re aggressively pursuing ways to help our patients receive the very latest in groundbreaking treatments. Undergoing treatment on our Duarte campus means patients are steps away from labs where new treatments for cancer are being developed every day. As a worldwide leader in administering clinical trials, we conduct more than 850 clinical trials each year, enrolling more than 7,000 patients.

Many of today’s most effective cancer and disease therapies are based on the results of clinical trials that depend on volunteer patients. By participating in a clinical trial, patients may benefit from the latest treatments available, including therapies that are promising but currently unproven.
