Honolulu Sun, 01 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT my mom went there for a second opinion after her surgery at a crummy place in southern california. That crummy place did the surgery believing it was a benign tumor which is why they didn't check the lymph nodes but we were not told it was actually cancer five days after the surgery.  And it turned out to be linitis plastica which is the worst kind of stomach cancer. She said the MDAnderson was amazing.  She would have probably still been alive had she gotten her original surgery there.  I think they take on PPO.  My mom had Blue cross.
