In the 2025-26 U.S. News & World Report (USNWR) ratings of American hospitals, over 800 hospitals were graded on their effectiveness at delivering cancer care to adults.  The analysis scored hospitals on various measures related to their cancer patient outcomes, the range of their cancer services, and the level of recognition earned by a facility from the wider cancer care community.  Nine hospitals in the Western U.S. rated among the top 50 U.S. hospitals for adult cancer care in the 25-26 survey.  This included three hospitals that ranked among the ten best cancer hospitals nationally.  Here's a summary view of where these nine Western U.S. hospitals rated nationally for adult cancer care in the 25-26 USNWR survey:
