Cancer Centers

NCI-designated Cancer Centers

Resource list

This is the list of National Cancer Institute approved cancer centers in the US, listed by state alphabetically. The National Cancer Institute provides funding for research. Institutions apply for NCI designation (the selection is done through a peer-review process), and the term “NCI-designated” primarily has to do with the facility’s research interests — not the quality or scope of patient care.

An NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center means that the institution is involved in research in three areas: laboratory, clinical and population-based. All NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers also treat patients. An NCI-designated cancer center concentrates research in one or two of those areas, and a few of these facilities — like the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia or the Salk Institute in San Diego — do research only.

U.S. News “The Best Hospitals”

http://health.usnews.com/best-hospitals/rankings/cancer

Using original survey data and secondary analyses of data from the American Hospital Association and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, this is an index of hospital quality updated on an annual basis. This index has three components designed to represent three key aspects of care-structure, process, and outcome. More than 900 hospitals are listed in Cancer. All are experienced in treating difficult cases—a hospital is listed only if at least 417 inpatients who needed a high level of expertise in this specialty were treated there in 2005, 2006, and 2007, or if surveyed specialists recommended the hospital for such patients. The top 50 hospitals are ranked by score. Those below the top 50 are listed alphabetically. If this link brings up a 404 error page, they are still working on their web site. Look right below the 404 statement, and you will see a link to “hospitals” once there – select cancer, and you will be on the main list. We hope that US News will have this corrected soon.

The ADA is the professional association of dentists dedicated to serving both the public and the profession of dentistry. The ADA assists in education, research, advocacy and the development of standards in the dental industry. The Oral Cancer Foundation has frequently disagreed with the ADA’s alliance with commercial entities, and some of their statements that our scientific board disagrees with; the most recent of which is that “Oral Cancer can be prevented” which is scientifically incorrect and marketing rhetoric from a manuafactuer they ere getting money from.  Only recently after yaers of the ADA evidence based group saying there was no value in oral cancer screening, (not true) have they changed their public position on that. That said, we believe that dentists, which the ADA represents, and the dental commjunity at large, are the best hope for early discovery of disease when more of them are actively engaged in opportunistic screenings. Oral cancer is DENTISTRY’S CANCER.
