Pancreatic Cancer Center

Question: Which hospital is better at cancer diagnosis in DC/Baltimore area? My friend may or may not have pancreatic cancer; the biopsy was 'inconclusive.' Just wondering if anyone has had direct or indirect experience of the cancer centers at Georgetown University (Lombardi Cancer Center) or Johns Hopkins.

Answer: Both are excellent. I would choose the closest one.
