Description

As one of the world's premier cancer centers, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center is committed to exceptional patient care, leading-edge research, and superb educational programs. The close collaboration between our physicians and scientists is one of our unique strengths, enabling us to provide patients with the best care available today as we work to discover more effective strategies to prevent, control, and ultimately cure cancer in the future. Our education programs train future physicians and scientists, and the knowledge and experience they gain at Memorial Sloan-Kettering has an impact on cancer treatment and the biomedical research agenda around the world.

The melding of research with patient care is at the heart of everything we do. At Sloan-Kettering Institute, state-of-the-art science research flourishes side-by-side with clinical investigation and treatment at Memorial Hospital, the nation's oldest cancer hospital. We are also one of 39 National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers, affirming our leadership in research, patient care, and education.

Patient Care

Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center experts have established standards of care and treatment protocols for each type and stage of cancer. Our physicians have an extraordinary depth and breadth of experience in diagnosing and treating all forms of the disease, from the most common to the very rare. Each year, they treat more than 400 different subtypes of cancer. This level of specialization can have an often-dramatic effect on a patient's chances for a cure or control of their cancer. And while we are known for our advanced, innovative therapies, our physicians are equally well regarded for their compassion and concern.
