Great article, Paul. It really peeks under the cover the medical institutions and reveals just the tip of the iceberg of the realities of what and how and who is organizing and operating the facilities as well as the agendas naturally inherent in any organization.

If in fact this quote is true then it is desirable the forum temper its zealousness over NCI designated CCC and offer comfort to the vast majority of patients who receive treatment at regional-local facilities.
