MD Anderson was one of the first three federally designated comprehensive cancer centers by the National Cancer Act of 1971. A survey of health professionals has routinely ranked MD Anderson as one of the two premier cancer centers in the nation for the past eight years. Over 55,000 persons annually seek care at MD Anderson.

Teams of clinical specialists collaborate with scientists on problems of common interest and test theories that shorten the application of better treatment methods.
