The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center
Who we are
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is one of the world's most respected centers devoted exclusively to cancer patient care, research, education and prevention.
It is located in central Houston in the Texas Medical Center. MD Anderson provides cancer care at several locations throughout the Greater Houston Area and collaborates with health systems nationwide through MD Anderson Cancer Network®.
Our approach
MD Anderson was created in 1941 as part of The University of Texas System. The institution is one of the nation’s original three comprehensive cancer centers designated by the National Cancer Act of 1971 and is one of 53 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers today.
U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Hospitals” rankings has named MD Anderson the nation’s top hospital for cancer care. The institution has been named one of the nation’s top two hospitals for cancer care every year since the survey began in 1990.
