Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone Arena Oncology

At Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone Arena Oncology, we offer state-of-the-art oncology expertise and advanced cancer therapies—usually available only in hospitals—in the comfort of our offices. We offer a full continuum of personalized care, from prevention to post-treatment support.

Our doctors specialize in oncology, hematology, internal medicine, neurology, and neuro-oncology, and we offer treatments for several types of cancers including:

• bladder cancer
• breast cancer
• cervical cancer
• colon cancer
• non-small cell and small cell lung cancer
• Hodgkin lymphoma
• malignant melanoma
• non-Hodgkin lymphoma
• ovarian cancer
• pancreatic cancer
• bone and soft-tissue sarcoma

The wide variety of services provided in our office—including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, therapeutic drainage of malignant fluids, and treatment for hematological disorders—makes it unnecessary for the majority of our patients to be hospitalized during treatment. We offer the latest advances in equipment and technology, and have access to the newest drugs and most current treatment regimens available.

Our practice was founded by Dr. Francis P. Arena, who started with the pioneering concept of delivering hospital-caliber care to patients in a comfortable and warm office setting. He has since succeeded in offering comprehensive oncology care on Long Island.

That degree of excellence set in place by Dr. Arena is shared today by his three associates. Each of our physicians is dedicated to the principle that every person with cancer deserves the most up-to-date diagnostic and treatment options available, combined with compassion, understanding, and patience.

At Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone Arena Oncology, we are committed to the highest level of patient service. Our caring staff makes your doctor’s appointments and schedules you for laboratory or other tests. We inform you of what to bring to your visits and manage your appointments so that all of your health and wellness needs are met at our office.

We participate in numerous health insurance plans, and our staff can assist you in understanding and maximizing your particular insurance benefits.
