With their 2009 rankings coming out soon, here's US News & World Report's 2008 ranking of the best cancer hospitals in the US, which includes 170 hospitals nationwide, the top 20 of which are below:
1 University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston TX
2 Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York NY
3 Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore MD
4 Mayo Clinic, Rochester MN
5 Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston MA
6 University of Washington Medical Center, Seattle WA

We've all seen the commercials for the Cancer Treatment Centers of America; not one of them—Eastern Regional Medical Center in in Philadelphia, PA; Midwestern Regional Medical Center in Zion, IL; Southwestern Regional Medical Center in Tulsa, OK; and Western Medical Center in
Goodyear, AZ—is even mentioned by US News & World Report.
I wonder why this is.
