In the 23-24 U.S. News & World Report study of American hospitals, nearly 900 hospitals were examined for their capabilities in providing adult cancer care.  In this study, hospitals were assessed on assorted metrics related to cancer care patient outcomes, the scope and breadth of their adult cancer care programs and services, and the level of recognition a hospital has received from the wider cancer care community.  Four Great Plains region hospitals made the list of the top 50 rated U.S. hospitals for adult cancer care in the 23-24 survey, including the Mayo Clinic, which ranked among the five highest-rated adult cancer care hospitals in the country.  Here's a summary look at these four Great Plains medical facilities and how they ranked nationally for adult cancer care:
