More people are surviving cancer today than at any point in human history. This is extraordinary progress and fills us with hope. But we also know that “survivorship” brings its own fears and challenges. At MSK, we care for people long after treatment has ended, with programs dedicated to managing the long-term physical and emotional effects of cancer.

Ending treatment should feel like the finish line — but survivorship can also be full of uncertainty. Helping others is a way forward for many cancer survivors.

Discoveries at MSK have changed the fundamental understanding of how normal cells fuel themselves and why they malfunction — insights that could ultimately transform how we treat cancer.
