The Cancer Program and Huntington Hospital has been continuously accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer since 1977 and treats approximately 2000 newly diagnosed cancer patients annually.

Our rapidly expanding, vertically integrated health system is a central destination for the integration of revolutionary advances into daily clinical practice.
