Report of the Texas State Auditor's Office related to performance measure certification, quality assurance team reviews, and information system vulnerability assessments of the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.

This unique book provides a retrospective analysis of the changes in survival outcomes at the University of Texas, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center over the past six decades. Since opening its doors in 1944, M.D. Anderson has kept a continuous, uninterrupted data repository of the treatment and outcomes of each of its patients. It is this visionary database from the center's tumor registry which makes this groundbreaking book possible. Tracking results across time, this book shows radical shifts in outcomes trends, where great progress has been made, and where there is still a long way to go, and o

At the heart of Houston stands the Texas Medical Center. This dense complex of educational, clinical, and hospital facilities offers state-of-the-art patient care, basic science, and applied research in more than fifty medicine-related institutions. Three medical schools, four schools of nursing, and schools of dentistry, public health, and pharmacology occupy the thousand-acre campus. But none of this would exist if not for the generosity and vision of Monroe Dunaway Anderson, who, in 1936, established the foundation that bears his name. The M.D. Anderson Foundation ultimatel

Report of the Texas State Auditor's Office related to the accreditation review for the Texas A&M University System Health Science Center in fiscal year 2002.

International audience ; In 2006, a remarkable collaboration between University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center clinicians andTexas and New Mexico State legislators led to the formation of a dedicated IBC Research Program and Clinicat MD Anderson. This initiative provided funding and infrastructure to foster coordination of an IBC WorldConsortium of national and international experts, and launch the first ever IBC international conference in2008, which brought together experts from around the world to facilitate collaborations and accelerateprogress. Indeed great progress has been made since then. National and international experts in IBCconvened at the 10th Anniversary Conference of the MD Anderson IBC Clinic and Research Program andpresented the most extensive sequencing analysis to date comparing IBC to non-IBC, gene- andprotein-based immunoprofiling of IBC versus non-IBC patients, and converging lines of evidence on thespecific role of the microenvironment in IBC. Novel models, unique metabolic mechanisms, and prominentsurvival pathways have been identified and were presented. Multiple clinical trials based on the work of thelast decade are in progress or in development. The important challenges ahead were discussed. This progressand a coordinated summary of these works are presented herein.
