there are some great centers in USA. It depends on type of cancer. look at who is doing the latest research on the particular cancer. Some of the top that I have researched (and used) Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, Mass Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, New York M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles, Calif. cancer linksusa list top 10 and top by state.

What type of cancer does your relative has? MD Anderson in Texas, Fred Hutchinson in Seattle, Stanford's med school hospital, the Cleveland Clinic and Dana Farber in Boston are excellent centers for treating leukemia and blood cancers. They are also excellent centers all-around, but I have no personal experience with other types of cancers. From what I've heard, Duke, MD Anderson, and Vanderbilt have excellent success with breast cancer clinical trials, but I can't vouch for them, since nobody I know personally has been there. There is a good lymphoma center is Florida, but I can't remember the name. The ACS website has a comprehensive list of centers. My sister got her bone marrow transplant at the Cleveland Clinic and we had excellent experience, but I don't know their success rates for other forms of cancer. They do admit international patients, and they usually speed up the visa procedure if it's for medical reasons.
