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 among the nation’s top two cancer hospitals in U.S. News and World Report’s “America’s Best Hospitals” survey since the survey began in 1990.

Since 1944, almost 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.
