Behind the Science: Behind the Best Hospitals for Cancer

Recently, US News and World Report released its annual rankings on “Best Hospitals for Cancer,” in which 913 hospitals are evaluated and the top 50 ranked. Among the top centers were the Hospitals of the University of Pennsylvania and the Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Following the report, CancerNetwork® editors sat down with Robert H. Vonderheide, MD, DPhil, director of the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, and Timothy Eberlein, MD, director of the Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center in Saint Louis, Missouri, about what this honor means to them and what makes their centers stand out from the rest.
