Comprehensive Cancer Center..... (CCC) A CCC is one of the countrys top cancer hospitals. They use a team based approach where all the specialists get together to discuss every individual case and make a treatment plan. Its been scientifically proven patients have the best results when treated at CCC's. Vanderbilt is a CCC and from what Ive heard one of the best places to get treated. Of course you will want to be comfortable with whatever your choice is. Find the very best medical care you can and put your trust in them weather its at a CCC or another facility.
