SAVANNAH — The Association of Community Cancer Centers recently selected the Curtis and Elizabeth Anderson Cancer Institute at Memorial University Medical Center to serve as a community resource center in its Improving Quality Care in Gastric Cancer project. Only three other U.S. cancer centers have been selected to serve in this capacity for the project, which is focused on improving understanding and treatment of gastric cancer. Despite the fact that gastric cancer is a less common cancer, with only about 21,600 Americans diagnosed annually, it remains the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S.ACCC’s community resource centers are ACCC-member cancer programs with experience and expertise in treating certain less-common cancers, such as gastric cancer.
