The National Cancer database publishes survival data based on individual hospitals submission of data.

As you see, Martha Jefferson's survival rates were higher in all these categories.
These outcomes are based on patients diagnosed at MJH between 1998 through 2002 (the latest years for which the NCDB has data).
