Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) was one of the first cancer centers to receive the Comprehensive Cancer Center designation from NCI, in 1971. Doctors and scientists at MSK work together closely to fulfill the institution’s commitment to patient care, research, and education. MSK’s experts have established standards of care and treatment protocols for each type and stage of cancer. The center’s high degree of specialization means that MSK’s doctors treat hundreds of cancer subtypes.

MSK offers a full range of programs to help people with cancer and their families throughout all phases of treatment, including support groups, genetic counseling, help in managing pain and symptoms, rehabilitation, integrative medical services, and assistance in navigating life after treatment. At the same time, a series of training programs prepares the next generation of doctors, scientists, and health care professionals for leadership roles in the life sciences and medicine. MSK’s Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences was established in 2004 and offers a Ph.D. degree in cancer biology.
