As a leading academic medical facility, Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center offers access to medicine’s latest technology and treatment. Strengths include:

• The Comprehensive Cancer Center of Wake Forest is part of an elite group of centers that the National Cancer Institute designates as comprehensive — the gold standard for all aspects of cancer care. More than 200 cancer-related clinical trials are underway at WFUBMC, recognized as one of the nation’s top 50 cancer centers.

• The Brain Tumor Center of Excellence within the Comprehensive Cancer Center at WFU is a nationally recognized, multidisciplinary collaboration that provides entrée to the broadest array of appropriate clinical trials for patients with neuro-oncologic disorders.

• Wake Forest is a member of New Approaches to Brain Tumor Therapy (NABTT), a clinical trials consortium of 10 leading U.S. medical centers (including Johns Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic and University of Pennsylvania). Membership allows brain tumor patients here to participate in promising new treatments.
