From Billy Starr:

["We are thrilled to share the news that Dana-Farber / Harvard Cancer Center has earned a 10 - a perfect impact score from the National Cancer Institute in their renewal as an NCI designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. Receiving a perfect score is an incredible accomplishment! A huge thanks to everyone at DFCI for their transformative research, the improved cancer care that have come from those discoveries and their spirit of collaboration that has a tremendous impact on cancer outcomes.](http://www.dfhcc.harvard.edu/)

As a spoke in the PMC's wheel , you should feel proud of your efforts to provide the tremendous financial support that helps make this accomplishment possible."
