At NYU Langone’s Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Center, we combine visionary thinking and compassionate care with the science of treating cancer. We are a National Cancer Institute (NCI)–designated Comprehensive Cancer Center and part of NYU Langone Health, one of the nation’s premier academic medical centers. 

We perform cutting-edge basic, translational, clinical, and population research that enhances cancer prevention, treatments, outcomes, and quality of life for our patients. We specialize in the treatment of all cancer types and our clinical trials give patients access to the newest, most innovative therapies, allowing us to deliver tomorrow’s best treatments today.

Building on this foundation of innovative research and exceptional care, our Center for Molecular Oncology is a centerpiece of personalized cancer treatment, leveraging advanced, state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques to create detailed molecular profiles of each tumor. This enables our oncologists to develop highly individualized and effective cancer care plans.

In addition, Perlmutter Cancer Center oncologists use a variety of innovative technologies such as MRI-linear accelerator (MR-LINAC) radiation therapy, which combines high-resolution MRI and a photon linear accelerator, to treat cancer more precisely than conventional approaches. We also specialize in targeted therapies that home in on cancer cells, while sparing healthy tissue; immunotherapies, which boost the immune system to fight cancer; and personalized cell therapies, which can harness the power of a patient’s own immune cells to identify and attack cancer directly. Throughout the treatment process, our experts monitor each patient’s response so that care plans can be adjusted in real-time to achieve the best possible outcomes.

As part of our mission, we also work to educate the community and healthcare professionals about the latest cancer research, screening, diagnosis, and treatment.

The advanced care we provide can have profound effects on patients’ lives. Studies show that people who choose to receive care at an NCI–designated Comprehensive Cancer Center have significantly improved long-term survival compared with those treated at facilities without this designation.

At Perlmutter Cancer Center, we believe that our patients always come first, and our team of experienced and knowledgeable oncologists focuses on delivering the highest quality, patient-centered care. We serve the greater New York City area and treat patients at multiple locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island.

A team approach. Innovative research. Personalized, compassionate care. It’s all part of our commitment to curing cancer in our lifetime.
