The La Jolla treatment facility is located on the University of California, San Diego campus in the Rebecca and John Moores Comprehensive Cancer Center , one of only 39 NCI-designated Cancer Centers in the United States. The La Jolla Center is divided into two separate facilities.

Patients are seen and treated in both facilities. The anticipated completion date of the West Facility is early 2008. Occupying approximately 31,000 square feet with 4 treatment vaults, the La Jolla Facility is the primary treatment and administrative center of the UCSD Department. All patients are treated on state-of-the-art Varian Linear Accelerators including 2 Trilogy units. One treatment vault is also used for the development of cutting edge technologies under a Master Research Agreement with Varian Medical Systems, Inc. The center also is also equipped with a large bore GE LightSpeed CT simulator, Varian RPM gating systems, and a dedicated HDR Brachytherapy Suite.
