Cancer Care Teams

Cancer care has never been more promising. With advanced diagnostics, targeted treatments and groundbreaking discoveries, cure rates for some cancers now exceed 90 percent. As of January 2022, over 18.1 million cancer survivors live in the U.S., a number expected to reach 22.5 million by 2032 (National Cancer Institute). There’s more reason than ever for patients to explore their options, take an active role in their care and find hope.

At Stony Brook Medicine, we’re leaders in cancer care, treating over 3,000 newly diagnosed adult patients each year. Our 13 site-specific, multidisciplinary Disease Management Teams provide seamless, comprehensive care — from diagnosis to follow-up — with outcomes that surpass national benchmarks. These teams also engage in community education, screenings and early intervention to ensure the best possible care.
