Mesothelioma Treatment Options Oregon Health & Science University http://www.ohsu.edu/ The OHSU Cancer Institute at Oregon Health & Science University, the only health sciences academic center in the state of Oregon, was designated as a Clinical Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute in 1997. The 200 members of the center seek to develop innovative, less toxic and more effective strategies of cancer prevention, treatment, diagnosis and control by applying new discoveries in cancer cell biology in molecular genetics. Programs in cancer prevention and control, hormonal and reproductive malignancies, hematology malignancies, experimental therapeutics, cancer biology, and complementary medicine function to foster interdisciplinary interactions between basic and clinical researchers. Fox Chase Cancer Center-Pennsylvania http://www.fccc.edu/ Fox Chase's 100-bed hospital is one of the few facilities in the country devoted entirely to cancer care. In September 2000, the Hospital of Fox Chase Cancer Center became the nation's first comprehensive cancer center and Pennsylvania's first hospital to receive Magnet status for nursing excellence from the American Nurses Credentialing Center, which renewed this honor in 2004. About 170 clinical trials of new prevention, diagnostic and treatment techniques are under way at any one time. Fox Chase is also involved in developing trials to test new agents that may prevent cancer in high-risk individuals. Combining research in many disciplines with patient care enables Fox Chase to translate new research findings into medical applications that may become models for improved cancer care. M.D. Anderson Cancer Center-Texas http://www.mdanderson.org/ At M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, our mission is simple – to eliminate cancer. Achieving that goal begins with integrated programs in cancer treatment, clinical trials, education programs and cancer prevention. To us, people are more than just their cancer symptoms. Compassion – along with innovative cancer treatment, cutting-edge cancer research, comprehensive education and research-based prevention of both common and rare cancers – has earned the gratitude of countless adult and pediatric cancer patients and their families. M. D. Anderson: life-saving, life-changing care, since 1941. All Text Copyright © Safety2005.org |
