Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center has a long-standing, multidisciplinary team approach to providing the most effective and advanced treatments to men and women with lymphoma. Although you will have a primary doctor who coordinates your care, all patients — regardless of the type of treatment they receive — are cared for by a team of experts.
Memorial Sloan-Kettering specialists care for more than 1,200 newly diagnosed people with lymphoma each year, and many others who receive ongoing or follow-up care. Our team includes experts in all of the fields necessary to treat lymphomas, including medical oncology, radiation oncology, stem cell transplantation with high-dose chemotherapy, pathology, radiology, and surgery. Having experts on the team in all of these disciplines ensures that your treatment plan is coordinated and comprehensive.

Nurses play an important role in caring for patients at Memorial Sloan-Kettering, and are often the members of the treatment team with whom you will have the most contact. Your nurses bring extraordinary knowledge, experience, and expertise to your care, because they specialize in helping people with your particular type of cancer. Your nurses will help you through your experience at Memorial Sloan-Kettering, whether you are being treated in the hospital or as an outpatient.
Nurses at Memorial Sloan-Kettering collaborate with doctors and other members of your patient care team to develop a treatment plan that is right for you. The nurses on your team provide a range of services — administering therapies, monitoring your treatment and watching out for side effects, educating you and your family about what to expect during treatment, and offering emotional support. Nurses also help coordinate your appointments, communicate important information to various members of your patient care team, and keep track of other details related to your treatment. Nurses at Memorial Sloan-Kettering maintain a patient-centered focus, placing your needs and preferences first.
