Jim (Brainman) suggested I post this here, since I brought it up on the prostate cancer forum.

Each year US News & World Report ranks hospitals in the United States by specialty. The rankings for cancer can be found here:
http://health.usnews.com/usnews/health/best-hospitals/search.php?spec=ihqcanc&

The methodology behind the rankings can be found here:

I hope this is helpful.

Hi there;
I used this list when I was wondering about a 2nd opinion. I worked out that the University of Washington was only a few hours from my Parents place. It was great to find out that my local Cancer Center was handling things right, and there was no need to move to Washington. Being #6 on the list does not sound all that good but there are a lot of good cancer centers that don't come close. And it is #1 on the west coast, over all those great places in California.
God Bless
Dan
