When it comes to cancer, simply treating the disease is not enough. The
stress this condition can cause the patient and their families should
also be addressed by your cancer care provider. USC Arcadia Hospital is
a Comprehensive Community Cancer Program and accredited by the Commission
on Cancer. USC Arcadia Hospital is committed to treating the whole person,
tending not only to the patient's physical needs, but also their emotional,
social, and spiritual concerns. We offer some of the most advanced cancer
diagnostics, treatments, and personalized care, including:
- Annual cancer screenings
- A state-of-the-art 320-slice CT scanner that produces 4D images of body organs
- Comprehensive treatment that includes chemotherapy, surgery, pain management,
and support groups for patients and families
- Low dose CT scans for lung cancer screenings
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:
-

experts who offer state of the art, highly effective treatment, and outstanding

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

cancer professionals all of your questions about the disease. You can
