There are many great treatment centers across the country. They are all affiliated with a major medical school and are usually in big cities. The most important thing you can do is go to a major hospital. The little local community hospitals will give you treatment that is not state-of-the-art. The hospital that you pick should be based partly on where you live and on what type of cancer you have.

MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas seems to be where most hospitals send cancer patients, at least around here. (Louisville, Nashville) I know of two people personally who have been sent there.
One woman with Stage 4 breast cancer was sent there, and now a year later is cancer free.
The other a young woman with a brain tumor and they operated and got the entire tumor out.
MD Anderson has also been on news shows for being the nation's leader cancer center.
You can check out their website for more information.

As well as the others mentioned above, Cedar Sinai in Los Angeles along with UCLA. I think it depends more on the the type of cancer. for uncommon cancers it's probably a lot more important to find the right hospital and doctors, because the experience is limited.
I was diagnosed with a Sarcoma while in florida. the dr there told me to see a specific dr at UCLA. I went to another hospital close to my home in Long Beach and they suggested the same doctor at UCLA... I didn't need any other opinions when 2 people on opposite sides of the country tell me to go to the same person.
OH and LeRoy (first answer) .... if you don't want to 'waste your time' then don't answer... what a jerk...

I'm not really sure about the whole country but Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago is the best here.
They treated my mother's cancer and did a wonderful job.

There's many but Dana Farber in Boston has saved my life and I recommend it to everybody. That's the truth! My local doctors would have watched me die.
