As the name suggests, the Abramson Cancer Center works dedicatedly toward “the eradication of cancer as a cause of human disease and suffering.” The center is part of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine that was ranked #2 in the category of research-oriented medical schools, according to the annual survey by U.S.News & World Report.

Over the past 16 years, the center has been managing an online portal, OncoLink, that disseminates cancer information. It is considered the single most trusted source for cancer information on the Internet. Specialsts from the Abramson Cancer Center use this resource to provide cancer-related information to cancer patients, families, health care professionals and the general public at no charge. The data posted on the Web site includes complete information about many types of cancer, updates on new cancer treatments and news about research advances. Hundreds of queries are sent via email and these are addressed by professionals to the satisfaction of the patient or caregiver.

The Abramson Cancer Center provides expert physicians, nurses and counselors to counsel each patient according to his type of cancer, family concerns, and quality-of-life issues. A care program is specially designed for each patient that will include the most appropriate course of action available to the patient.
