Show deaths by countryGLOBOCAN's estimated deaths for the same countries, for readers who want them.

Country-level death counts mix every stage, subtype and year of diagnosis, and reflect access to screening and treatment as much as the disease. Survival differs by stage, subtype and year; the cancer page above leads with what can be done.

These are the things we can measure; they are not a ranking of quality. Each column is a field on the institution record or a count over what OnCo has linked; a centre that treats many patients with Gastric & gastro-oesophageal junction cancer but is thinly recorded here will look small.

Not known: OnCo holds no case-volume or outcome figures for centres, so none are shown. Where a national audit or registry publishes them, the centre's page links to it. Default order: Newsweek rank, then trials for this cancer, then research output.

Seeking a second opinion: ask your oncologist for a referral to a high-volume centre; most accept records and pathology by mail or telehealth. In the US, use the NCI's Find a Cancer Center tool or the nonprofit Cancer Commons, which navigates options for advanced cancers at no cost. The second-opinion finder explains how referral works in your country.
