Money listed Huntsman Cancer Institute 10th among the top 75 cancer care hospitals in the country. The online publication made its selections based on treatment, research, and provider experience. Over 6,000 hospitals were analyzed.

Editors made the decision based on Denniston Data’s Provider Ranking System, which evaluates over one million providers using the frequency of procedures performed, billable costs, and comparative percentile scores as metrics. To be included, hospitals needed to have at least one A-rated oncologist in five specialties: medical oncology, radiation oncology, hematology, surgical oncology, and gynecological care. Huntsman Cancer Institute received an overall A rating.
