Cancer Treatment Centers of America

What Cancer Treatment Centers of America does

Cancer Treatment Centers of America, now operating under the City of Hope brand following a merger, is a private, for-profit national oncology care platform headquartered operationally at Duarte, California (with corporate registration tied to Boca Raton, Florida). The company operates five inpatient hospital campuses in Atlanta, Chicago, Duarte, Orange County, and Phoenix, supported by seven outpatient care centers across Arizona, Illinois, and Georgia. It was founded in 1988 and employs 5,001–10,000 people. City of Hope brings a 100+ year research legacy and is a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN).

The platform delivers the full oncology care continuum across 100+ cancer types through dedicated disease-specific centers (Breast Cancer Center, GI Cancer Center, Lung Cancer Center) and treatment modules including chemotherapy, radiation therapy (external beam including IMRT/IGRT/TomoTherapy/proton therapy/SRS/SBRT, brachytherapy, systemic), surgical oncology (open, laparoscopic, robotic, cryosurgery), immunotherapy (checkpoint inhibitors, CAR T-cell, vaccines, cytokines), precision medicine, and theranostics (Pluvicto, radioactive iodine). Diagnostic capabilities span advanced imaging, genetic and genomic testing (BRCA1/2, MammaPrint, Oncotype DX), and laboratory services. Supportive care (nutritional, naturopathic, behavioral health, pain management, spiritual, survivorship) and the ASURE enhanced surgical recovery program provide whole-person wraparound services.

Revenue is generated through professional services for inpatient and outpatient cancer care, billed primarily through commercial insurance and most Medicare plans; pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by plan and treatment regimen. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer: patients self-refer via a 24/7 phone line (888-552-6760), website, or live chat, supported by insurance verification, physician referrals, telehealth, and an international patient services channel. Customers are individual cancer patients segmented by tumor type rather than institutional buyers. Leadership includes CEO Pat Basu, Founder/Chairman Richard J Stephenson, CFO Douglas Costa, CIO Jennifer Greenman, CMO Julian Schink, COO Pete Govorchin, and CMO Ken Chaplin.
