Delivering innovative cancer care for results
When one of our members is diagnosed with cancer, their care team quickly creates a personalized treatment plan using the latest evidence-based care. That’s because at Kaiser Permanente, we continuously update our care guidelines so members can access innovative treatments, including clinical trials.
These guidelines are informed by the deep experience of our cancer specialists, who treat many types of cancer across a large and diverse group of patients. As a result, our members are 20% less likely to lose years of life due to cancer compared with nonmembers in their communities.*
From detection to treatment to recovery, we make sure you get the best care available so you can lead your best life.

Transforming health through research
Kaiser Permanente cancer research and clinical trials
Our researchers are helping to advance cancer care for people throughout the U.S. Our oncologists test new cancer therapies and share results with Kaiser Permanente care teams. Thanks to this collaboration, members with cancer get cutting-edge treatment close to home. To learn more about our work and how you might be able to get involved, visit kp.org/cancer.
The Kaiser Permanente Research Bank
The Kaiser Permanente Research Bank helps researchers understand many health conditions, including cancer. Volunteers can share their health information and blood samples. These samples help us learn about genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors that contribute to disease. For more information, visit researchbank.kaiserpermanente.org
