The Simmons Cancer Center is the first and only medical center in North Texas to attain this prestigious status, which the NCI bestows upon the nation’s top cancer centers in recognition of innovative research and excellence in patient care. There are now 66 such centers in the U.S.; other designated centers in Texas are in Houston and San Antonio.
