For an overview of navigating cancer care, please look to this 2022 MSK presentation: A Guide to Navigating Cancer Care Before and After a Diagnosis, which discusses cancer health disparities, how to select a provider and facility, advocating for yourself and others, and understanding costs.
Information On Visiting MSK In NYC is the page for information about the experience of visiting our Manhattan locations as an MSK patient. This includes details like directions, parking, and lodging. For example, Hotels & Other Accommodations shares that MSK has negotiated special rates and amenities for patients, families, and caregivers at some hotels.
As of 2023 there are 72 National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Designated Cancer Centers. These are places noted for their scientific leadership, resources, and research on preventing, diagnosing, and treating cancer.
MSK is one of 54 Comprehensive Cancer Centers, meaning we have shown an additional level of research across many areas that relate to cancer.
Look to this map to find different centers and explore their focuses.
