- The Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine is a cancer treatment, research and education institution with six locations in the St. Louis area. Siteman is the only cancer center in Missouri and within 240 miles of St. Louis to be designated a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Siteman is also the only area member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, a nonprofit alliance of 32 cancer centers dedicated to improving the quality and effectiveness of cancer care. In 2020 and 2015, Siteman received the highest rating possible - exceptional - by the NCI for cancer research. At Siteman's reviews leading to the ratings, researchers presented their findings in genomics, cancer imaging, cancer prevention and disparities, and the use of the body's immune system to fight cancer. In 2022, Siteman was named the No. 10 U.S. cancer center by U.S. News & World Report. The recognition is part of the overall ranking of its parent institutions - Barnes-Jewish Hospital, which is No. 11 on the news magazine's “U.S. News 2022-2023 Best Hospitals Honor Roll,” and Washington University School of Medicine, which is No. 11 on the newsmagazine's "2023 Best Medical Schools: Research" list. Siteman treats more than 75,000 individual patients, including 12,000 newly diagnosed patients, every year. (en)
