Which is the best cancer hospital? This is, of course, a difficult question. Still, cancer is a complex disease and new treatments are being continually discovered. It makes sense to use a hospital whose cancer research has had a strong impact on the area of cancer medicine (oncology). Such hospital will have outstanding experts, who are familiar with the latest discoveries.
Here, we rank hospitals by the impact their research had in the area of cancer medicine. Hospitals with higher impact research are listed at the top. We rank 100 hospitals.
Methodology:
Cancer treatment is at the forefront of medicine, and it depends on leading research. Here, medical centers are ranked by the number of influential publications in oncology. The ranking is by the number of papers in oncology published during the last 20 years that had received 10 or more citations.

Hi I found your site by mistake when i was sahcreing Google for this issue, I have to say your site is really helpful I also love the theme, its amazing!. I dont have that much time to read all your post at the moment but I have bookmarked it and also add your RSS feeds. I will be back in a day or two. thanks for a great site.
That kind of thinnikg shows you’re on top of your game
This is my first time i visit here. I located so many tneiresting stuff in your blog especially its discussion. From the tons of comments on your posts, I guess I am not the only one having all the enjoyment here! keep up the good work.
I just found your blog while researching how to craete a button and came across your sons story. I just wanted to share that my brother was diagnosed with ALL when he was 18 months old. He also went through many medical treatments such as chemo, radiaiton and marrow transplants but he is a healthy 30 year old man today! I will be praying for your son and your family during this trying time!
No doctor can ever pcdriet the future especially with cancers- though we are asked to do this every day.If she is old ( how old ?), she may die of natural causesbefore the breast cancer progresses to affect her health.I do not see why she would refuse a simple lumpectomy,but maybe she is very old.We have so little medical information here.Her doctor has all of her medical history and has examined her.That is the person to ask.I’ve seen people with advanced breast cancers live for many years.
Honestly speaking it is very diilfcuft to state actual survival in individual case.Every patient and disease behave differently biologically.In this case ca. is in early stage and to take therapy is highly advisable cause not many cases get detected in stage 1.Prognosis is good if therapy is followed.
