Learn how a stem cell-derived treatment shows potential for treating Parkinson's disease.

… Wednesday, April 16, 2025 A stem cell–based therapy initially developed at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) may lead to a new treatment for advanced Parkinson’s disease, according to results from a phase 1 clinical trial reported in Nature . The treatment involved creating nerve cells (neurons

Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping leads to significantly less lower-extremity lymphedema compared to comprehensive lymphadenectomy (LND) after hysterectomy in patients with endometrial cancer.

… Thursday, January 30, 2020 Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping leads to significantly less lower-extremity lymphedema compared to comprehensive lymphadenectomy (LND) after hysterectomy in patients with endometrial cancer, according to our research published recently in the journal Gynecology Oncology .

The 2016 annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) ended with a visit from the Vice President.

… Thursday, April 21, 2016 Summary Continuing his work on the National Cancer Moonshot Initiative, Vice President Biden paid a visit to the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, where he highlighted his goals for cancer research in the coming years and what it will take to get

Topics included more diverse representation in clinical trials, racial disparities in colorectal cancer, and ancestry testing to improve diagnoses.

… Wednesday, April 13, 2022 Among the topics discussed at this year’s annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) was disparities in cancer care. Several MSK researchers presented research that directly addresses these problems. In a prerecorded presentation, MSK physician-scientist

Nearly 400 adults and children have received umbilical cord blood transplants at MSK. These transplants offer the best chance of a cure for blood cancer in patients who are unable to find a matched donor, often due to their non-European ancestry.

… Thursday, September 15, 2022 For some people with blood cancer, getting a stem cell or bone marrow transplant from a donor offers the best chance of a cure. It’s called an allogeneic transplant . But finding a donor who’s the right match can be difficult for many people — especially those of southern

Casi 400 adultos y niños han recibido trasplantes de sangre del cordón umbilical en MSK. Estos trasplantes ofrecen la mejor posibilidad de cura para el cáncer de sangre en pacientes que no pueden encontrar un donante compatible, a menudo debido a su ascendencia no europea.

… Thursday, September 15, 2022 Para algunas personas con cáncer de sangre, recibir un trasplante de células madre o de médula ósea de un donante ofrece la mejor posibilidad de curación. Se llama trasplante alogénico . Pero encontrar un donante que sea compatible puede ser difícil para muchas personas,

Learn why surgery is still a good option for older patients with early-stage lung cancer.

… Wednesday, November 2, 2016 Summary Older patients are sometimes reluctant to have surgery for lung cancer because they mistakenly believe the risk outweighs the benefits. A new study shows that older patients who receive surgery at MSK usually survive their lung cancer for more than five years and are

New MSK research investigates harnessing the power of ferroptosis to spread cell death; reports how an MSK artificial intelligence (AI) model could help improve patient safety; and uses AI to reveal country-specific drivers of global cancer outcomes.
