Many considerations.: Certainly, there are well known centers in the U.S. With great reputations for experienced cancer care. But excellent care can be obtained at many centers across the country, so it is important to weigh other factors as well. Don't forget that proximity to friends and family is important, as is the potential to need consistent followup care. Seek multiple options and find physicians you trust.

MD Anderson: Md andersond cancer center in texas is one of the premier cancer hospitals in the world and would be my recommendation with such a rare cancer. I have sent some of my patients there and they have an excellent system to get patients into their system while still communicating with your local doctors.
