Most recently, 24 California Cancer Specialist physicians were named in "America's Top Doctors for Cancer," a publication now available in bookstores. With more than 180 physician experts in medicine, California Cancer Specialists is the largest multi-specialty medical group in California dedicated to oncology. For more than 30 years, the Group's physicians and scientists have worked to bring new discoveries to the treatment and cure of cancer.

"It is significant for the community to have a multidisciplinary team of cancer specialists under one roof in South Pasadena," said Dr. Benjamin Paz, Executive Medical Director for the Cancer Center. "There have been remarkable advances in the way we diagnose and treat patients today. For the first time, we will be able to deliver an ultra-precise radiation treatment in less than three minutes.
