[quote=pmb]Is CCC a hospital? [/quote]
CCC is an abbreviation for "comprehensive cancer center," meaning a medical facility where a cancer patient's case is considered from the outset by a team of specialists representing different areas (surgery, chemo, radiation and other specialties depending on the type of cancer) -- taking a "comprehensive" approach to treatment, as opposed to the patient having to find a surgeon, a chemo doc, a radiation doc etc. on his/her own and then hope that they talk to each other.

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
