The Harold E. and Henrietta C. Lee Breast Center

Finding out that you or a loved one has breast cancer can be devastating. It is important that you understand two things:

First, most women who are diagnosed with breast cancer survive it.

Second, you've come to the right place.

USC Norris Cancer Hospital is part of USC University Hospital, one of the country's leading academic medical institutions and one of US News & World Report's "Best Hospitals." We are staffed by a multidisciplinary team of breast cancer experts that not only treats patients, but also engages in pioneering cancer-fighting research. This means our patients often have access to new, innovative treatments that may not be available at other breast cancer hospitals.

In addition to helping save lives, we are also very sensitive to our patients' needs beyond the physical treatment of cancer. We offer various support groups and other resources and are one of the leaders in the field of oncoplastic surgery, which combines cancer surgery with plastic surgery techniques that may preserve breast appearance after the operation.
