About

The Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Center is an interdisciplinary nexus of cancer investigation and treatment. We aim to advance patient outcomes both within and beyond New York City, and through our collaborative infrastructure, we conduct award-winning research, serve our patient communities, and educate future leaders in oncology.  

Established in 2008 as The Tisch Cancer Institute through the generosity of James and Merryl Tisch, the Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Center is a National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, the highest designation awarded to cancer centers in the United States. 

With direct cancer-related funding of over 40 million, the Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Center has fostered four collaborative cancer research programs to advance basic, clinical, and population health cancer research. The Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Center’s cancer research programs are supported by seven shared resources and draw upon the extensive collaborations of over 170 members. 

Our research programs focus on the health needs of the populations in our catchment area, which includes New York City and its surrounding areas.  We conduct extensive research in liver, prostate, breast, colorectal and lung cancers, as well as multiple myeloma. Our Clinical Research Support Unit, provides the infrastructure to conduct novel, investigator-initiated protocols developed by our researchers and supported by our staff specialists. 

The Mount Sinai Hospital is the primary inpatient facility for our patients. Ambulatory cancer services are provided at numerous facilities including The Derald H. Ruttenberg Treatment Center and the Dubin Breast Center, and at multiple outpatient sites throughout the Mount Sinai Health System. Radiation oncology and cancer imaging services are readily accessible for both standard treatment and clinical research-related procedures.
