About the Alliance
ADCC member hospitals are leading the way in the treatment of cancer – including improved outcomes, improved quality of life, and moving cancer treatment to outpatient settings. Unlike other hospitals, Dedicated Cancer Centers exclusively treat cancer patients.
- Our state-of-the-art therapies and research activities often offer the greatest possibility for successful cancer treatment.
- Much of the progress in understanding cancer’s biology and effective treatment is directly attributable to the work of the centers.
- All institutions provide multidisciplinary cancer care, including diagnostic, surgical, medical, chemotherapy and radiation treatment, cancer prevention, survivorship, and health disparities programs.
- We maintain robust programs in basic, population, and clinical research, including clinical trials.
- We are at the forefront of establishing meaningful, actionable, and patient-centered quality measures for cancer care.
