If you saw an advertisement for it than that is really your answer . . . they advertise because they are a business . . they are a private, for profit facility . . . they are very expensive. They predominately accept patients in whom they can affect an acceptable treatment and turn away those with rarer forms of cancer. If you have money and believe in the types of treatment they offer, have a common type cancer than they may accept you as a patient. However, if you have an advanced disease and a rare form of cancer the better facilities to look into are called designated comprehensive cancer centers that are endorsed by the National Cancer Instititue. These cancer centers network with each other and share research and new treatment information. Most of these facilities are considered the best cancer centers in the world (MD Anderson, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Dana Farber, etc.) based on experience, results, and reputation among patients and the medical field.
