The University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center is one of the best of its kind in the country. Our Cancer Center is one of only 40 U.S. centers to earn the National Cancer Institute's "Comprehensive" designation, it is among 18 premier cancer centers in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network and it is currently ranked ninth on US News & World Report magazine's "Best Hospitals" list of the nation's top Cancer Centers.

When it comes to services for children, we have the largest pediatric oncology research effort in Michigan, and our program is one of only a few in the United States to hold a training grant in Pediatric Hematology. In general, we treat young patients with pediatric solid tumors, including neuroblastomas, rhabdomyosarcomas, Wilm's tumors and brain tumors, as well as lymphomas, leukemias and other childhood cancers. Pediatric cancers are different from adult cancers, primarily because of the fact that it isn't clear what causes childhood cancer.
