The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center is recognized around the world for its contributions
to Making Cancer History® in patient care, research, education and prevention. Created in 1941 by the
Texas Legislature, M. D. Anderson is one of the original three Comprehensive Cancer Centers designated by the
National Cancer Act of 1971, and it remains the only one in Texas. It has ranked as the nation's #1 cancer
hospital for six of the last nine years in the U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Hospitals”
survey and one of the top two since the survey began in 1990.
Since 1944, more than 700,000 patients have turned to M. D. Anderson for multidisciplinary care in the form
of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or combinations of these and other treatments. For
several years, its faculty members have been awarded more competitive research grants from the National Cancer
Institute and have conducted more clinical trials of potential new therapies than any other institution.
