Center of Excellence for Breast Cancer

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with breast cancer, or is going through treatment, Mount Sinai can help. The Center of Excellence for Breast Cancer at the Mount Sinai Health System provides seamless integrated care for every phase of breast health care. We offer screening, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care. Our services are available throughout the New York City area. At the same time, we participate in researching the latest diagnostic and treatment options. This means you may have the opportunity to join a state-of-the-art clinical trial.

At Mount Sinai, we use the latest diagnostic and treatment approaches. Once we have an accurate diagnosis, we develop a tailored treatment plan to meet your medical and emotional needs. We can also take care of you if you have medical concerns beyond breast cancer. As a comprehensive, accredited cancer center within a full service hospital, we focus on you as a whole person, providing a patient-centered experience. We take a compassionate approach. Our goal is to give you the best possible experience—and outcome.
