What are the best stomach cancer centers in the USA? California? Florida?

Question

My dad was diagnosed with stomach cancer in El Salvador, Central America (where we live) but we want and need another opinion, from international doctors that offer us a good treatment and diagnosis. We want to know which are the best stomach cancer centers in California and Florida, so we can go there as soon as posible. Thank you very much.

Answer 1

Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center is considered the best cancer hospital in the US, and probably in the world. It's in New York, rather than California or Florida, but if you're coming to the US to be treated for cancer that's where I'd suggest you go. I know that people come from all over the world to be treated at Sloan. I'm working in a research lab at MSKCC this summer and as part of that have attended various staff training types of things and have seen a little bit of the medical side of things, and I've definitely gotten the impression that not only do they know what they're doing from a medical perspective, but that they've got the more human side of patient care down pretty well too.

In California, the UCLA Medical Center, and UCSF are ranked 9 and 10 in the country, respectively. I don't really know either of the hospitals at all, but I can tell you that the research labs at UCSF are a nice place to work (which I'm sure is a major factor in chosing a hospital, but it's all I've got that isn't in the US News rankings).

In Florida, Sarasota Memorial Hospital is ranked number 50 in the country, but I'd go with either of the Calfornia ones over that if you can't make it to New York.
