CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE

[TomsWife]

Tom and I have decided to take the advice of many contributors to this forum and see a medical oncologist specializing in PCa at a Center of Excellence. His condition is advancing and we need to see someone great in addition to our urologist. Does anyone know of a source for a comprehensive list of said Centers?

Hello again Tall_Allen. Do you know of a super radiation oncologist in Cooper Hospital in South Jersey ( they are part of MD Anderson). Or any in Southern New Jersey for 2nd opinion? Sorry still try to learn this posting to one person on this site.

Sorry - I don't. The only ROs I know of are in NYC or Philly

[Portugal-2 in reply to Tall_Allen]

Who in Philly? At Penn?

Thanks so much for the links you provided. Just what I was looking for. I would like your opinion on which is superior: a Center of Excellence or an NCI Designated Cancer Center. Thanks again.
