Can anyone tell me anything about the cancer center at HUMC. My wife is stage 4 colon cancer and her insurance will no longer cover Sloan MKCC. Are there other centers in North Jersey or the metro NYC region that are on the cutting edge for stage 4 colon cancer? Must be kind, supportive and empathetic? A good Oncologist fererral would also be appreciated.

Thanks,

TSWE

    I don't know your area, but here are some of the major ones:

    MD Anderson
    John Hopkins
    Sloan-Kettering
    Mayo Clinic
    Cancer Centers of America

    The National Cancer Institute website has a great tool for locating centers:
