University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center is one of the nation's original three Comprehensive Cancer Centers designated by the National Cancer Act of 1971 and is one of 39 such centers today. The Anderson Network is a unique cancer support group of more than 1,300 current and former patients who know just what patients are going through, and can offer the right patient-to-patient advice and encouragement when it's most needed. Their members are living proof that no matter what your diagnosis and treatment, there is always hope and the chance to live each day fully.

The Anderson Network* takes a personalized approach to supporting both cancer patients and caregivers. As a patient network, they try to match cancer patients with a member who has had the same diagnosis and treatment—someone who understands the particular anxieties, questions, and fears.
