Houston Methodist

The Houston Methodist Dr. Mary and Ron Neal Cancer Center treats about 7,000 new cancer cases each year across eight locations throughout the Greater Houston area, with specialists covering common and rare cancers from diagnosis through recovery and survivorship. Oncologists, radiologists, surgeons, pathologists and genetic counselors collaborate on individualized treatment plans, supported by a network of dedicated professionals who provide coordinated care for patients and caregivers throughout their cancer journey. Houston Methodist Hospital is ranked No. 19 in the nation and No. 2 in the state for cancer care according to U.S. News & World Report for 2026-27, and is an overall nationally ranked honor roll hospital. Physician-scientists at the center conduct translational research and support clinical trial protocols for brain, breast, liver, lung and other cancers, giving patients access to new treatment options. In July 2026, Rice University’s Synthesis X Center and the Neal Cancer Center awarded $90,000 in collaborative seed grants for translational cancer research. The center hosted its 14th annual Houston Methodist Cancer Symposium in August 2026 to highlight ongoing clinical and therapeutic advancements.
