Cancer Care

I wanted to bring you the latest information about hospitals that are best at treating cancer.

I read a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association on May 26, 2020.

And the findings are word for word from the investigation team which included the following people:

Daniel J. Boffa, MD1; Katherine Mallin, PhD2; Jeph Herrin, PhD3,4; et al Benjamin Resio, MD1; Michelle C. Salazar, MD1; Bryan Palis, MA2; Matthew Facktor, MD5; Ryan McCabe, PhD2; Heidi Nelson, MD6; Lawrence N. Shulman, MD7

I am not going to go through how they arrived at their conclusions, but following is the question they were trying to answer:

Question Are there differences in survivorship between top-ranked cancer hospitals and affiliates that share a top-ranked hospital’s brand?

The Finding: In this cohort study of 119, 834 patients who underwent surgical treatment for esophageal, gastric, lung, pancreatic, colorectal, and bladder cancer, risk of 90-day mortality after complex cancer treatment was higher and long-term survival was inferior at affiliate hospitals.

The bottom line is that the study found that cancer surgical treatment at top ranked cancer hospitals, as defined by US News and World Reports list of Top Best Hospitals, was superior to that of their affiliates.

US News rated University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston as the number one Cancer Hospital in their 2109/2020 list.

Will Doctors Ever Learn

07 May, 2024

This past weekend, the New York Times identified many people who believe their new debilitating symptoms are due to the Covid vaccine. I cannot stress enough, that everything doesn’t work for everyone. Many people can go to a doctor and get natural things done and get better. Other people do better in the current medical system. Yet, it is very wrong for physicians to tell people, they are crazy, or it’s in their head. Just because the US hasn’t documented the symptoms people are experiencing from the RNA Covid shot, doesn’t mean their symptoms don’t exist. Some people are experiencing neurological, cardiovascular, and autoimmune symptoms. Everyone’s bodies are different. Other countries, like Israel, Europe and Hong Kong who have centralized systems have documented people who have myocarditis, tinnitus, severe shingles, bell’s palsy, and some show continued deterioration of the heart cavity. About 13,000 cases exist, out of the 677 million Covid shots received in the U.S. Some scientists are concerned that people’s symptoms are being ignored.
