Lyudmila A. Bazhenova, MD, is a board-certified medical oncologist. Her clinical practice is devoted to patients with all types of lung cancer, and she has particular expertise with female patients and nonsmokers.

San Diego's only Comprehensive Cancer Center

As a NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, we hold the highest possible rating for a U.S. cancer center. This designation is reserved for centers with experts in every medical subspecialty, pushing boundaries to improve approaches for preventing, diagnosing and treating cancers. In simple terms, these federally recognized centers save lives. Studies repeatedly show that patients seen at NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers do better, on average.
