Baylor University Medical Center, flagship facility of Baylor Scott & White Health, combines Baylor Scott & White Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center–Dallas and Baylor Scott & White T. Boone Pickens Cancer Hospital into one of the largest cancer centers in the nation and the only dedicated inpatient cancer hospital in North Texas, treating more than 36,000 patients annually. U.S. News & World Report has consistently rated the center “high-performing” in colon cancer surgery, leukemia and lymphoma and myeloma surgery, lung cancer surgery, ovarian cancer surgery and prostate cancer surgery, and NRC Health has named it the most preferred cancer center in North Texas. The center holds accreditation from the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons, the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy, the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers and the National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer, along with Magnet recognition for nursing excellence from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Baylor University Medical Center was the first hospital in North Texas to offer adult commercial CAR T-cell therapy for large B-cell lymphoma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and one of the first in the country to offer tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte cellular therapy for metastatic melanoma. Through the Swim Across America Innovative Clinical Trials Center and a partnership with Baylor Scott & White Research Institute, Texas Oncology and U.S. Oncology, patients have access to more than 150 national clinical trials across dedicated research and treatment centers for blood, breast, colorectal, endocrine, genitourinary, lung and esophageal, pancreatic and skin cancers. In 2026, the Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center at Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center renewed its National Cancer Institute comprehensive cancer center designation, remaining one of only three such centers in Texas, and the Baylor Scott & White Health network opened a new two-story radiation oncology facility at the Glenda Tanner Vasicek Cancer Treatment Center in Temple, Texas to expand regional access.
