Our approach to care

We use a multidisciplinary approach to cancer support, which means we bring together clinicians from different specialties and departments to ensure that you receive care for your whole body and mind, not just your cancer.

Our adult and pediatric patients can access the latest anti-cancer drugs, novel and targeted therapies, emerging minimally invasive surgical procedures, and clinical trials.

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

Patient Kiley Durham survived her initial diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer but then the cancer spread to her brain, and later to her cerebrospinal fluid. A multidisciplinary team, determined to preserve her quality of life as a young mother and wife, worked together to manage Kiley’s medical care by thinking outside of the typical playbook. See how NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine physicians, Dr. Tessa Cigler, medical oncologist, and Dr. John Ng, radiation oncologist, approached this complex case to deliver a successful outcome.
