Mesothelioma Specialty Centers Lead U.S. News Best Hospitals Rankings
U.S. News & World Report has named University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center the Best Hospital for Cancer for the ninth year in a row in its annual rankings.
The Houston-based hospital is followed by Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York; Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota; UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles and Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Center in Boston. The hospitals all landed in the top five last year; however, UCLA rose one spot to No. 4 and Dana Farber dropped to No. 5 this year. The 2023-2024 rankings were released Aug. 1.
MD Anderson has been ranked in the No. 1 or No. 2 spot for cancer care every year since the lists’ inception in 1990. All of the top five hospitals have exceptional mesothelioma specialty programs and excel in the treatment of this rare cancer, which has no definitive cure.
“At MD Anderson, we remain singularly focused on eliminating cancer,” said Dr. Peter WT Pisters, president of MD Anderson, in a statement. “We are pleased to see this commitment recognized, but there is work still to be done.”
