RFP Description:
The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center Rotary House International Phase III - Request for Qualifications Overview M. D. Anderson is known throughout the world for high-quality cancer care, research, academic programs and prevention services. Since its establishment in 1941, M. D. Anderson has made major contributions to improve the outlook for cancer patients everywhere. M. D. Anderson was one of the first three federally designated comprehensive cancer centers by the National Cancer Act of 1971. A survey of health professionals has routinely ranked M. D. Anderson as one of the two premier cancer centers in the nation for the past eight years. Over 55,000 persons annually seek care at M. D. Anderson. The team approach to cancer care, pioneered at M.

Teams of clinical specialists collaborate with scientists on problems of common interest and test theories that shorten the application of better treatment methods.
