Becky,
Since there are no NCI supported Cancer Centers in Oklahoma you might want to look for an nearby Comprehensive Community Cancer Center (or hospital cancer program)accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (CoC).

Both NCI supported centers and CoC accredited centers will stricly follow NCCN diagnosis and treatment guidelines, but CoC centers are not necessarily associated with Universities or Research Institutes. Most cancer is treated at a CoC.

Please check the American Cancer Society's Cancer Treatment center locater site at:
http://www.cancer.org/docroot/FTC/ftc_0.asp?sitearea=ETO

It will help you locate nearby CoC and/or NCI accredited and supported treatment centers.
