Many honorees hold prestigious designations from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and consistently rank among the top cancer care providers by U.S. News & World Report, Newsweek, and other respected publications.
“Recognition of the excellence of our Cancer Center by Becker’s is a wonderful validation of the incredible work our clinical and research teams do,” said Konstantin H. Dragnev, MD, interim director of Dartmouth Cancer Center. “We are one of just three NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers in New England—the only one north of Boston and west of Buffalo—and one of only 57 nationwide. A cancer diagnosis is terrifying for the patient and their loved ones, but we are honored to offer the assurance of the best care possible, from access to clinical trials to the care and compassion of their care teams. All of us at Dartmouth Cancer Center share a commitment to working toward a future without cancer, and the best possible outcome for every patient we treat.”
