About the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Cancer Center:
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital recently established a Mesothelioma Center, unique in this area, to provide comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for this uncommon cancer.
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital offers patients the latest tools for the assessment of mesothelioma. Under the aegis of the Mesothelioma Center, more than 100 newly diagnosed patients with mesothelioma are cared for and followed each year from all over the country. (The total number of new cases in the U.S. is less than 3,000 per year). Most patients are seen or treated by a surgeon, medical oncologist, and radiotherapist during their course, as well as a highly specialized nursing staff and psychiatry liaison.
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital is one of the most comprehensive university hospitals in the world, with leading specialists in every field of medicine. We are composed of two renowned medical centers, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, and affiliated with two Ivy League medical institutions, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and Weill Cornell Medical College.
With our dedicated staff, modern facilities, state-of-the-art technology, commitment to quality care, and role in educating future physicians, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital has earned a reputation as a healthcare leader. Whether providing specialty care to the tiniest newborns, performing complex cardiothoracic surgery, or offering comprehensive primary care, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital delivers excellence in healthcare with compassion and caring.
