Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center(MSKCC) ― the world’s oldest and largest private cancer center ― has devoted more than 130 years to exceptional patient care, innovative research, and outstanding educational programs.
MSKCC's close collaboration between physicians and scientists is one of their unique strengths, enabling them to provide patients with the best care available as they work to discover more-effective strategies to prevent, control, and ultimately cure cancer.
MSKCC analyzes 40,000 tumor samples each year to determine a precise diagnosis and the extent of disease (known as staging) ― an essential step to deciding the best course of treatment.
At the same time, they treat more than 400 different subtypes of cancer. This level of specialization can often have a dramatic effect on a patient’s chances for a cure or control of his or her cancer.
MSKCC has been rated as one of top two Cancer Centers in North America by US News and World Report for more than 25 years.
