About Me

Kelly Mahuron, M.D., is a surgical oncologist and assistant clinical professor at City of Hope® in Duarte, California. She treats a variety of cancers, including skin cancer and melanoma, and is committed to bringing novel treatments like T cell therapies from the laboratory into her clinical practice. 

Along with caring for patients, Dr. Mahuron is a dedicated researcher. Her work centers on cellular therapy and immuno-oncology — using the body’s own immune system to fight cancer. She studies how immune cells called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes can help target cancer while working to develop tools that may help predict which therapies will work best for each patient. 

Dr. Mahuron earned her medical degree at the University of California, San Diego, and completed her general surgery residency at the University of California, San Francisco. She continued specialized training with a fellowship in complex surgical oncology at City of Hope. Dr. Mahuron has published over 20 peer-reviewed publications, including first-author manuscripts in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, Cancer Research and JAMA Surgery.

Patient reviews
The patient ratings and comments on this page are obtained from an external Press Ganey® outpatient survey provided to all eligible City of Hope patients within one to two weeks of their treatment occurrence. Raw data from the answers to the survey questions about our physicians are calculated by Press Ganey into a one- to five- star rating. In the spirit of transparency, all patient comments are posted as written by the patient, whether they are positive or negative. We only exclude comments if they are deemed to be slanderous or libelous, contain profanity or vulgar language, or do not relate to the patient's experience with the doctor involved. As a result, the comments are the views and opinions of the patients surveyed and are not endorsed by, and may not necessarily reflect the opinion of, City of Hope.
