What is the best oncology hospital?

I am looking for the best oncology hospital in New England... but I'm also curious as to where the best oncology hospital is in the nation

The best in new England is probably Dana-Farber Cancer Center (Harvard).

The best in the nation according to US News and World Report is Memorial Sloan-Kettering in NYC (I believe they are associated with Columbia University).

Other top 5 ranked cancer centers include JHU and MDACC (University of Texas).

There are several notable cancer hospitals in New England:

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

There are many other excellent facilities in the United States. Try to find one that specializes in your type of cancer.

Do not discount a local hospital for treatment. Many local oncologists network with other oncologists to find the best treatments possible.
