Memorial Sloan-Kettering - 64th Street is an innovative outpatient facility located at 205 East 64th Street (between Second and Third Avenue), conveniently close to our main campus. Here, our expert care is made available in a comfortable and private out-of-hospital setting. This facility houses the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center and the Iris Cantor Diagnostic Center.
The Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center meets medical and non-medical needs of breast cancer patients, as well as those who may be at higher-than-average risk for the disease. By centralizing the services of many health-care professionals, patients may draw on services ranging from mammography to genetic counseling. Memorial Sloan-Kettering treats more breast cancer patients than any other cancer center in the nation, and its rate of breast-sparing surgery is three times the national average.
