Leaders in comprehensive cancer care

As home to two cancer centers, we provide our patients with expert, compassionate care and access to the latest cancer treatments and therapies, to treat cancer and everything else it can affect.

Columbia University's Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center is one of only five National Cancer Institute Designated-Comprehensive Cancer Centers in New York State and one of the first in the nation to earn this designation.

Weill Cornell Medicine Meyer Cancer Center is a preeminent research institution conducting innovative, cutting-edge clinical trials that lead to novel cancer treatment and approaches.

We know cancer can affect many parts of your body. Our multidisciplinary excellence means we can pair our oncologists with cardiologists, neurologists, mental health therapists, oncofertility experts and other specialists to design a plan with you at the center.

Personalized, comprehensive cancer care services are available near you in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Westchester, and the Hudson Valley. 

Our approach to care

We use a multidisciplinary approach to cancer treatment, which means we bring together clinicians from different specialties and departments to ensure that you receive care for your cancer, but also your whole body and mind.

Our adult and pediatric patients can access the latest anti-cancer drugs, novel and targeted therapies, emerging minimally invasive surgical procedures, and clinical trials, all based on cutting-edge research from Columbia and Weill Cornell Medicine. 

Our numerous programs help to manage cancer’s emotional and physical challenges and everything it affects and partner with you and your loved ones to create a treatment plan that works for you.

“I always say that everybody that I encountered at NewYork-Presbyterian was like an angel, and I just felt like I was helped the whole way.”

Danielle, wife and new mom, was diagnosed with HER2-negative breast cancer at the age of 34 after giving birth to her first child. Danielle’s team of doctors at NewYork-Presbyterian quickly devised a care plan putting her at the center and preserving her fertility to be able to continue to grow her young family, before she began chemotherapy. Today, she is cancer-free and expecting her second child because of the care our team provided when Danielle first got her diagnosis.
