PLOS ONE: Disease Specific Productivity of American Cancer Hospitals

 American Cancer Hospitals open access

 Conclusion
Research productivity varies considerably among the sample. Overall cancer productivity conceals great variation between diseases. Disease specific rankings identify sites of high academic productivity, which may be of interest to physicians, patients and researchers.

 Cancer specific rankings

Different cancers are treated and studied by different physicians in different departments using a variety of techniques. To capture this diversity, we generated ranked lists over 25 different conditions. The 10 institutions with the highest score in each category, including ties, are presented as Table 2. M.D. Anderson Cancer center appeared on the most top-10 lists, 24/25, as well as having the highest score in 13/25. However, 43 of the 50 institutions make at least 1 appearance on a top 10 list, and 6 different organization were top ranked in at least one area. A full accounting of these appearances is presented as Table 3.
