Cutting-Edge Research and Therapies
At Columbia Cancer, we believe that our discoveries here will end cancer everywhere.
Our team of researchers and physicians work to find new and better ways to treat, diagnose, and prevent sarcoma.
For example, our researchers found that adding the sarcoma drug olaratumab to doxorubicin therapy increased survival for metastatic soft tissue sarcoma patients by nearly a year compared with doxorubicin alone—the first major advance in sarcoma outcomes in decades.
We have many clinical trials that can bring you access to the newest therapies, such as targeted treatments and immunotherapies, before they are widely available. Many of our clinical trials started from discoveries in our own labs, and are only available here.
You’ll Have a Wealth of Support Resources
Because we treat the whole person, not just the cancer, we have created Patient Support Services that provide care and support outside of traditional medical care. You will have access to alternative treatments like acupuncture, resources for stress management, yoga therapy, spiritual support, patient support groups, and more.
