I just finished "brachy" radiation therapy at the University of Wisconsin Hospitals. THEY ARE AN EXCELLENT UP TO THE LATEST FACILITY!!! They are training other hospitals in Wisconsin on how to do this treatment. Five days of internal radiation for me versus six weeks of external radiation. And they have cancer centers all over the state that work with them as outreach facilities, and are a big network. They are amazing!

MD Anderson in Texas.

Hands down MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, USA. Contrary to a previous poster MD Anderson was rated top in the United States for the second year in a row.

According to the US News & World Report, MD Anderson was the best cancer hospital in the country for 2007. They have an annual rank of hospitals around the country, but are not divided by cancer type. Keep in mind that generally, other hospitals on the list may just be as good in other parts of the country, but may be ranked lower due to research, reputation, etc.

The Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. They are wonderful and extra caring! Seriously the best.

I just finished treatment at Hackensack University Medical Center in Hackensack, N.J., and I could not have asked for more caring doctors and nurses. They are also leaders in research as well.

I almost died from the wrong high dosage of a cancer med prescribed at MD Anderson. I would not recommend MD Anderson Oncology because of my bad experience with oncology. On the other hand, MD Anderson is one of the few centers in the world that have a proton beam machine to treat tumors. This is cutting edge technology for radiation therapy. Sloan Kettering is number one for Prostate Cancer, but I have not heard overwhelming news that they are number one for Breast cancer. I have heard good things about cancer treatment centers of America for breast cancer, including the use of more frequent chemo at lower doses to improve tolerability to the meds. I heard City of Hope is an excellent place to treat Breast Cancer, and they keep up with current clinical trials of cutting edge meds. I heard they even offer bone marrow transplants for breast cancer that has migrated to the bone. This is a treatment that is denied in most medical institutions.
