City of Hope president and CEO Robert Stone said: “This is a defining moment in the fight against cancer and a powerful opportunity to reach more cancer patients with the leading treatments, care and advanced research they critically need.
“CTCA has a strong commitment to patient-centric cancer care, and combining its network and services with City of Hope’s scientific expertise, clinical trials and patient care strengths will significantly increase the number of people who can access the latest lifesaving treatments.”
The deal is expected to benefit both the organisations, as it would see creation of a national integrated cancer research and treatment system with a potential to transform the future of cancer care.
City of Hope anticipates that the acquisition of CTCA will fast-track its ability to translate research and science into lifesaving care, as well as enhance the reach of its cancer services and capabilities across the US.
