Every cancer experience is different. We provide comprehensive, innovative treatment options tailored to you. Treatments may include:
Advanced diagnostics — Sharp offers the latest technology for diagnosing cancer and understanding the extent of the disease to help develop the best treatment plan. Our full range of imaging tools include state-of-the-art CT, PET, MRI, and ultrasound. We also use advanced techniques for obtaining biopsies and analyzing tissue samples.
Surgery — Minimally invasive techniques as well as robotic-assisted procedures, which provide greater precision and enhanced visibility compared to traditional surgical techniques.
Chemotherapy and immunotherapy — Medication that either targets cancer cells directly or harnesses your immune system to attack cancer cells.
Radiation therapy — Radiation that precisely targets cancerous tumors while protecting surrounding healthy tissue.
Clinical trials — Access to new therapies and treatments through our clinical trials program.
Sharp is the first health care system on the West Coast to receive designation as a Network of Excellence in Robotic Surgery by Surgical Review Corporation (SRC), an internationally recognized, nonprofit, patient safety organization. The accreditation signifies our ability to consistently deliver the safest, highest-quality surgical care to our patients.
In addition, more than 35 Sharp-affiliated doctors have received designation as an SRC Surgeon of Excellence in Robotic Surgery, including surgeons who perform cancer surgery.
We offer cancer care at hospitals across San Diego — from South Bay to East County to Kearny Mesa.
