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. D. Anderson, has been strengthened by
consolidating specialty clinics into multi-disciplinary care centers that
allow patients to receive more ambulatory care and treatment in a single
location.
M. D. Anderson offers one of the largest bone marrow
and stem cell transplantation programs, as well as clinical trials to improve
existing therapies. Teams of clinical specialists collaborate with scientists
on problems of common interest and test theories that shorten the application
of better treatment methods.
Translational research studies are responsible for the promising field
of chemoprevention, which uses synthetic vitamins to reverse pre-malignant
lesions and halt the recurrence of some cancers, and for innovative gene
therapy strategies being evaluated for several forms of cancer.
Existing Houston
facilities include the latest M. D. Anderson Main Complex facility completed
in 1998 and designated as the Alkek Building. This facility consists of more
than 1.2 million square feet of new space and is dedicated to clinic,
research, and patient care in the Texas Medical Center. During 2005, Owner
completed construction of the George and Cynthia Mitchell Basic Sciences
Research Building, Ambulatory Clinical Building, the Cancer Prevention
Building, and the South Campus Research Building Two. Owner is currently
constructing the T. Boone Pickens Academic Tower, which is scheduled to be
occupied during 2008. Educational programs train about 2,000 scientists,
physicians, and allied health professionals annually. A new Cancer Prevention
Center provides sophisticated cancer risk assessment and early detection,
genetic testing, counseling, classes to address harmful lifestyle habits, and
long-term follow-up for recovering cancer patients. Studies of the environmental
causes of cancer are conducted at M. D.
Anderson Science Park in nearby Bastrop County. The Bastrop site also
includes a center to provide veterinary resources for research.
Mission. The
mission of M. D. Anderson is to eliminate cancer in Texas, the nation and the world through
outstanding integrated programs in patient care, research, education and
prevention.

be the premier cancer center in the world, based on the excellence of our
