About Me
Fluent in Mandarin, Luke Chen, M.D., has helped cancer patients in Southern California for nearly 20 years. Focused on both saving life and improving quality of life, he treats his patients as family and is inspired by their courage and humility. With many effective and safe treatments available today, Dr. Chen seeks, in turn, to inspire people under his care to remain hopeful in their fight against cancer. 
 
He pursued his medical training at University of California San Diego, then attended University of California Irvine, completing his residency in internal medicine and his fellowship in hematology and oncology. Dr. Chen’s research has explored ways to improve treatment for prostate cancer and other malignancies. His studies of unconventional tuberculosis cases have been used to educate University of California San Diego medical students. 
 
Outside the lab and clinic, Dr. Chen enjoys gardening and spending time with this wife and two sons. 
Patient ratings
Star ratings and comments are only available for medical, radiation and gynecologic oncologists. Gynecologic surgical offerings are not included at this time due to a different survey tool required to evaluate these services. CTCA uses a validated Press Ganey® survey, which captures patient experience feedback for the primary oncology services of chemotherapy and radiation therapy at our comprehensive care and research centers. Following industry best practice, star ratings and comments are only published for physicians with a minimum of 30 completed patient surveys.
