Cancer Center Redwood City

UCSF Cancer Center Redwood City provides compassionate, advanced care and lab services 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 offer streamlined access to UCSF specialists and clinical trials, as needed.

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.

Lab services for UCSF patients: Our labs are committed to providing safe and excellent services. Patients with cancer are welcome to walk in, and all patients can schedule your next appointment for this location through the MyChart website or app. For lab services, patients must have orders from a UCSF Health provider.

This location offers a limited blood draw menu. If you are self-scheduling, please refer to our special test instruction page for information on where and when various tests are available.

You'll find us in a convenient location with free parking in front. See the map below for hours and contact info.
