NYU Langone Medical Center

The New York University Cancer Institute is dedicated to being a worldwide leader in cancer care, accentuating a translational approach that turns the scientific discoveries from its laboratories into novel therapeutic advances for its patients.

The institute is a part of the NYU Langone Medical Center, one of America’s premier centers of excellence for research, education and clinical care, spanning four hospitals, two medical schools, and six clinical facilities throughout Manhattan.

“Our mission is to discover the origins of human cancer and to use that knowledge to eradicate the personal and societal burden of cancer in our community, the nation and the world,” reads the institute’s mission statement.

Serving a diverse patient population that comes from many different countries, the institute offers up-to-date care and counseling for all cancers,including malignant mesothelioma, the rare and aggressive cancer caused by exposure to asbestos fibers.
