Stanford is a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, a testament to our scientific excellence. We are also one of the founding members of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), an alliance of 26 of the world's leading cancer centers dedicated to improving the quality and effectiveness of care provided to patients with cancer.
US News & World Report consistently recognizes Stanford as one of the top hospitals in America for cancer care. Our Magnet® designation acknowledges the hospital for quality patient care, nursing excellence, and innovations in professional nursing practices. Stanford is also certified by ASCO as a Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI®) program, demonstrating a proven commitment to quality patient care and safety.
The Cancer Center works in close partnership with the Stanford Cancer Institute where more than 300 basic science and clinical researchers are working to understand the molecular, cellular and genetic mechanisms of cancer and how it affects each individual. Together our work is changing outcomes and quality of life for the thousands of people from around the globe who come to us for specialized care unavailable at most medical centers.
From microarray technology to image-guided stereotactic radiosurgery and tissue engineering, many cancer procedures practiced worldwide had their start at Stanford. Learn more about Stanford Cancer Institute.
In addition, the Stanford Cancer Center rapidly invests in new technologies that have been shown to improve cancer diagnosis and treatment, ensuring that our patients have access to the best care possible.
For example, our all digital mammography service enables CAD analysis of mammograms which has been proven to increase diagnostic accuracy, and our PET/CT scanners allow doctors to simultaneously view anatomical and biological tumor information, providing a greater ability to pinpoint a cancer's location than ever before.
Patients receiving care in the Stanford Cancer Center have access to the full complement of our specialists, many of whom are nationally recognized experts in their field. The Stanford Cancer Center has a total of 13 different multispecialty tumor boards, each specializing in a different type of cancer. Genetic testing and counseling are also an integral part of our treatment approach.
Tumor boards are meetings where specialists from surgery, medical oncology, radiation oncology, radiology, genetics, and pathology collaboratively review a patient’s condition and determine the best treatment plan. Through this multidisciplinary approach, patients have access to a diverse team of Stanford cancer experts instead of relying on a single opinion.
Underlying all of our clinical cancer services is a team of doctors, nurses, and staff that work together to give you the best care and most positive experience possible. Our teams collaborate at all stages of your care, and doctors regularly discuss patient diagnosis and treatment with other experts on staff.
