The Cancer Center is the Hudson Valley’s top resource for leading-edge, personalized care of all cancers. Experienced physicians, surgeons, scientists and technicians embrace sophisticated technologies to provide a comprehensive “one-stop” approach that maximizes outcomes for patients while minimizing side effects. Indeed, the Center’s generations of trusted care includes establishment of the region's first full-service Radiation Medicine program 20 years ago, and the oldest, most active bone-marrow transplant program in the region.
The Cancer Center and pediatric cancer services at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, also a WMCHealth member, break ground with the latest specialty services, including precise, accurate screenings to detect cancer; preventive care; advanced imaging; radiation therapies; minimally invasive and interventional surgical procedures; cutting-edge clinical trials; bone marrow/stem cell transplant; cord-blood transplantation; supportive services; navigation of care; pain management; and survivorship.

- Breast and Gynecologic Oncology: Breast and all types of gynecologic cancer.
- Thoracic Oncology: Cancer of the lungs and chest region.
- Gastrointestinal Oncology: Cancer of the digestive system, including the esophagus, gall bladder, biliary tract, liver, pancreas, stomach, small intestine, bowel (large intestine, colon and rectum) and anus.
