High-Quality Care in a Comforting Environment

During their hospital stay, our cancer patients receive chemotherapy and assistance managing the side effects of their condition and treatments. The facility is well furnished and designed for comfort so patients can have an easier time relaxing and maintaining a positive outlook. Treatment is facilitated by a multi-disciplinary team of physicians, oncologists, nurses, dieticians, social workers, discharge planners, and pastoral care representatives.

We offer a number of specialty cancer services, including:

• The Institute for Surgical Specialties - Our surgical specialists offer world-class care, including the diagnosis and treatment for all types of colorectal cancer.
• GYN Oncology Institute – Gynecologic cancers, or cancer of the reproductive organs, are some of the most prevalent forms of cancer. This facility is staffed by GYN oncology experts who offer state of the art, highly effective treatment, and outstanding patient care.
• Lung Screening Program – USC Arcadia Hospital offers a low-dose CT scan that is quick, easy, and painless with minimal exposure to radiation. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. A yearly screening with low-dose CT has been shown to save lives by finding lung cancer earlier when it’s easier to treat.
• Lymphedema Care – Lymphedema is the swelling that can happen in your arms or legs after damage occurs to your lymph nodes or when your lymph nodes are removed as part of cancer treatment. While there is no cure for this ailment, lymphedema can be treated best with early diagnosis and focused care on the arm or leg affected. For more information, call 626-574-3630.
• Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation – Pelvic floor rehabilitation is designed to improve the strength and function of the muscles that support your bladder, urethra, and organs within the pelvis. Our team of physical therapists provides a precise program for muscle reconditioning by using the principles of physical therapy, including pelvic muscle exercise and electrical stimulation of the muscles. For more information, call 626-574-3630.

• Stepping Forward- Surviving cancer comes with its own set of challenges. Stepping Forward is a support group intended to help participants recover physically and emotionally after their cancer treatment. For more information, call 626-574-3630.

The Cancer Resource Center is a support facility where you can ask knowledgeable cancer professionals all of your questions about the disease. You can visit us in person or call us whenever you need a question answered. The center is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and on Friday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. For more information on our cancer services please call 626-574-3581.
