How many Commission on Cancer-accredited cancer programs are there in the United States and Puerto Rico?

• A. More than 1,500
• B. More than 3,000
• C. About 2,000
• D. More than 500

Answer: (A)

This item tests how extensive the Commission on Cancer’s network is in the United States and Puerto Rico. The CoC accredits a broad range of cancer programs across the country, and the total number is more than 1,500. Accreditation reflects meeting standardized, multidisciplinary care and quality-improvement requirements, including a dedicated cancer program, tumor board oversight, and a cancer registry. The count is comfortably above 500 but not as high as 3,000 or around 2,000, so more than 1,500 is the most accurate choice.
