CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE

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?

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.
