The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center

About

MD Anderson is one of the largest cancer centers in the world, and has been working to eliminate cancer for more than seven decades. The Center has ranked as one of the top two hospitals in cancer care every year since U.S. News & World Report began its annual “America’s Best Hospitals” survey in 1990. One of MD Anderson’s greatest strengths is its ability to translate today's most promising laboratory findings into tomorrow's new, more effective and less traumatic treatments. Patients benefit from countless medical advances by receiving not only the best treatments to minimize or eliminate their cancer, but also those treatments that will give them the best chance at a high quality of life afterwards. New and innovative therapies generally are available at MD Anderson several years before they become standard in the community. Clinical trials incorporate state-of-the-art patient care, while evaluating the most recent developments in cancer medicine. They also offer treatment opportunities for difficult or aggressive tumors. MD Anderson ranks first in the number and amount of research grants awarded by the National Cancer Institute. By studying how cancer begins and responds to various treatments, MD Anderson can help patients overcome disease and prevent recurrence.
