Cancer Center San Mateo

(650) 341-9131

UCSF Cancer Center San Mateo provides compassionate, advanced care to patients on the Peninsula. Our team treats all forms of cancer, with a special focus on blood cancers such as lymphoma, as well as lung, breast, gastrointestinal, genital and urinary system cancers. We also offer genetic testing and counseling. Genetic counselors can provide personalized recommendations to reduce your cancer risk, including guidance on cancer screening and preventive measures.

Formerly known as California Cancer Care, we are now part of the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center. This renowned center was the first in the Bay Area to receive the National Cancer Institute's prestigious "comprehensive" designation.

We offer a convenient location and easy parking, as well as streamlined access to UCSF specialists and clinical trials, as needed. Our facility includes an area for infusion therapy and a pharmacy.
