Press Releases

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) has been recognized as the number two hospital for cancer care in the nation by U.S. News & World Report in its annual Best Hospitals listing.

MSK is proud to return as a participant in the 4th Annual Black Health Matters Virtual Summit. Black Health Matters Virtual Summit will provide attendees a chance to interact with physicians, scientists, and advocates, including former First Lady, Michelle Obama, to address equity in all areas of health.

MSK announces the establishment of the Marie-Josée Kravis Women in Science Endeavor (WiSE) to provide financial and professional support to women scientists pursuing biomedical research at MSK, pledging its commitment to gender equity in science and paving the way for more women to become leaders in their field.

According to a new study from Memorial Sloan Kettering published June 24 in Nature Medicine, patients in active cancer treatment who develop COVID-19 infection don’t fare any worse than other hospitalized patients. Researchers say their findings suggest that no one should delay cancer treatment because of concerns about the virus.

The success of science, research, and medicine in saving and extending lives requires the transfer of ideas and knowledge in the laboratory, classroom, hospitals and clinics. The Executive Order issued on June 22 that suspends the issuing of temporary visas for certain foreign workers will only impede the innovation and scientific leadership that the world has come to expect from the United States.

A study from Memorial Sloan Kettering found that young patients ages 18 to 39 with early-onset cancer have an especially high risk of harboring inherited genetic (germline) mutations.

On Thursday, June 18th at 6:00 p.m. E.T. with an encore at 9:00 p.m., MSK will stream a special performance highlighting poignant and humorous perspectives On Cancer and Coronavirus, featuring works from its writing program, Visible Ink.
