The MSK Campaign
In the past five years, cancer research has outpaced our wildest imagination. By contributing to MSK, you’re advancing our mission of ending cancer for life.
Support the next transformative cancer breakthrough.
We are the most capable force against cancer the world has ever seen, and the MSK Giving community is an essential part of our strength.
–Selwyn M. Vickers, MD, FACS
We’re at a turning point
Your gift allows us to swiftly explore promising avenues of research, as soon as they emerge. That’s why, with your help, we plan to raise $6 billion by 2030.
The progress you’re already making possible
Since launching, The MSK Campaign has raised more than $3.5 billion, all thanks to our inspiring and generous donor community. Here’s just some of what we’ve been able to accomplish so far:
Boundary-pushing initiatives
Your donations raise essential funds to support our mission of ending cancer for life, across these six strategic initiatives.
1
Care delivery
Innovating in care delivery
We’re so much more than a hospital — we’re driving clinical care and research to benefit people affected by cancer worldwide.
The CDC estimates that between 2015 and 2050, the number of people with cancer in the United States will increase by nearly 50% because of the growth and aging of the population. At MSK, we’re focused on transforming cancer care so that all patients can experience excellent outcomes and maintain their quality of life wherever they receive care.
We’re committed to elevating the standards of cancer care for everyone.

Discovery science
Pioneering discovery science
Discovery science is the foundation beneath every bold and lifesaving innovation in cancer care.
MSK is pioneering discovery science in cancer medicine, resulting in new learnings, treatments, and cures. By developing new research technologies, MSK will push the boundaries of oncology and answer the most challenging questions.
Discovery science leads to new ways to cure cancer.

Immunotherapy
Harnessing the immune system
Cancer immunobiology is one of the most transformational breakthroughs in modern medicine, and many advancements were driven by MSK.
MSK researchers are dedicated to understanding an individual’s immune system in all its complexity — from clarifying what makes current immunotherapies viable for some patients but not others, to developing new immune-based treatments and vaccines, to discovering the next generation of immunotherapy targets.
New immunotherapies have lifelong benefits.

Precision oncology
Expanding precision oncology
We’ve laid the foundation for a future in which profound molecular insights can give rise to powerful new therapies and diagnostic tools.
To help us understand the full range of genetic changes that help cancer grow, spread, and respond to or resist treatment, we need to develop the next generation of tools. This will allow our scientists to see cancer in new ways, create innovative diagnostic tools, and sharpen the accuracy of precision cancer therapy.
We’re pushing forward more effective and targeted therapies.

Data science
Transforming data into cures
Data science offers unprecedented insights into each patient’s cancer and helps guide treatment decisions.
As we expand our data collection and computational capabilities, we are on the brink of even greater discoveries to improve patient care everywhere. As we study how cancer evolves in real time, we can learn to get ahead of it and stop it in its tracks. We may even be able to prevent cancer from developing in the first place.
Doctors and scientists are improving diagnoses and predicting responses.

Education and training
Developing the new generation of leaders
Up-and-coming physicians and scientists are poised to discover new cures and make sure everyone gets the best cancer care.
People are at the core of all our progress. Skilled, compassionate, and farsighted physicians, nurses, and scientists are essential to creating and delivering new cures and treatments. That’s why MSK is committed to recruiting, training, and retaining transformative talent and creating opportunities for all people, regardless of their background.
Our students are the future of oncology.
