An old and very dear friend of mine has Anaplastic Oligoastrocytoma grade 4. He has been treated in Denmark over the last year, last with avastin. He would like to have second opinion and options of further treatment from an American hospital. As I live in Atlanta I was thinking of Emory Winship. Does anyone have experience with the hospital?

Thank you for a very educating and supportive forum

Krebin, I do not have any experience with Emory. I know it by reputation only. It has a wonderful reputation as a general hospital is very good. However, to my surprise no hospital in Georgia is listed in the top 50 US Cancer Hospitals:

You and your friend are in my thoughts and prayers.
