Knowledge makes all the difference.
This year, out of 5>4-?0 Hospitals nationwide, only
50 achieved the excellence to be ranked by U.S.News
& World Report as America's Best Hospitals in Cancer.
Fortunately, one is right here in western North
Carolina: the Comprehensive Cancer Center at Wake
Forest University Baptist Medical Center. We achieved
this elite ranking because of our excellent patient
outcomes, national reputation, in-depth ^ \
clinical research trials and clinical care,
along with having the latest technology. 1
But, you're the real beneficiary, because \
here you have access to the most x,
advanced diagnostic and treatment procedures, such
as robotic prostate cancer surgery, as well as
the only Digital Integrated Brachytherapy Unit
in North America, and "knifeless" Gamma Knife
radiosurgery. And as the region's only medical
center to receive the National Cancer Institute's
highest designation possible for cancer research
^ t and clinical care, we provide the broadest
range of cancer care options and services
available. When it comes to cancer care,
f knowledge makes all the difference.
