Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 10,507 Likes: 7 | Welcome to OCF! Below is a list of comprehensive cancer centers (CCC). They are the countries top hospitals to treat cancer. The CCC facilities all use a team based approach where the specialists get together so everyone is on the same page. If you cant get to a CCC, there is also a list of the top US hospitals. Look for a teaching hospital or university hospital. Find the best medical care you can and go with it. CCC list US News Best Hospitals List Choose carefully! Surgeons cut and once its gone, its gone forever. Whatever specialist you are seeing will advise to use their treatment. This is why a CCC is usually the best place to go as they use a team based approach to make their treatment plan. Best wishes!!!
