Founded more than a half century ago, the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara has provided medical care in three departments:  Radiation Oncology, Hematology/Medical Oncology and Nuclear Medicine. We seek to offer our services in a climate of ever-increasing demands on health care. The Cancer Center meets this challenge with a committed staff, strong community support and true belief in its mission.

In addition to providing cancer treatment, the Cancer Center maintains a variety of cancer support services including: clinical research trials, wellness programs, counseling and cancer support groups. We strive to provide patients with the best possible chance for recovery.

Of the estimated five million people in the United States who have, or have had, cancer, approximately 60% are considered cured. Until 100% of these patients are cancer-free, the Cancer Center will continue its work, treating Santa Barbara's cancer patients with professionalism and compassion.
