National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN)

The UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center is one of 31 leading cancer centers in the United States participating in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN). As a member of the NCCN, the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center joins the experts from the NCCN to diagnose and treat patients with cancer, with a particular focus on uncommon, complex and aggressive forms of cancer.

As a top-tier academic cancer center are located in one of the nation's most-populous cities, the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and its researchers are involved in the creation of the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines — the recognized standard for clinical direction in cancer care, and the most thorough and frequently-updated clinical practice guidelines available in any area of medicine.

In addition to joining the panels behind the NCCN Guidelines and their derivatives, our experts work with NCCN to provide continuing education; policy and advocacy outreach; best practices information; organization of clinical trials and research; global adaptations and translations; and up-to-date patient information.
