For the fourth consecutive year, the National Cancer Institute "Fondazione Pascale" in Naples has confirmed its position among the world's best oncology hospitals, ranking 47th in Newsweek's annual World's Best Hospitals ranking. This prestigious achievement sees the Pascale Hospital rise four places from last year (it was 51st), consolidating its position as first in Southern Italy and sixth overall nationally, just behind the hospitals in Milan and Rome.
The ranking, compiled by Newsweek based on parameters such as life expectancy and standard of living, population size, and availability of hospital data, is dominated by the United States, but the Pascale Hospital manages to stand out among global healthcare giants. According to experts at the magazine, which has been analyzing medical and scientific progress since 1933, the Neapolitan institution was selected for "its excellent standards of care," an accolade shared in Italy with only five other facilities in the top fifty of the ranking.
The prestige of the Pascale It's not limited to just the Newsweek rankings.

Stanford University's selection is based on bibliometric data from the Elsevier/Scopus database, evaluating the number of scientific articles published, the researchers' role as first or last authors, and the citation impact of their publications. The 11 Pascale scientists stand out for their research in oncology, covering specific fields such as immunology, pathology, virology, and molecular biology.
"A double milestone – underlines Attilio Bianchi, general manager of Pascale – Achieved thanks to the expert guidance of our scientific director, Alfredo Budillon, and the involvement of various professionals, from oncologists to surgeons, pathologists, radiation oncologists, and speech therapists. This result demonstrates the excellence of our institute and the importance of synergy between the various components of the healthcare system.
Bianchi also thanks the President of the Campania Region, Vincenzo De Luca, for his support and constant attention to the institute. "Where there is synergy, the final result is always greater than the sum of its individual parts. This recognition encourages us to continue with ever greater commitment to offering excellent care to our patients."
