## TL;DR

The world's top-ranked cancer hospital, home of MSK-IMPACT sequencing, the dostarlimab rectal cancer study, and CAR-T pioneers.

## Summary

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is a New York cancer centre founded in 1884, NCI-designated as comprehensive and ranked first in the Newsweek/Statista World's Best Specialized Hospitals list for oncology, which makes it the reference point against which other cancer hospitals are measured. Its firsts include MSK-IMPACT, an FDA-authorised tumour sequencing panel that feeds OncoKB and cBioPortal, co-development of CD19 CAR-T cell therapy with Sadelain's group, the dostarlimab study in mismatch-repair-deficient rectal cancer led by Andrea Cercek, and the Paige AI digital pathology spin-out. It runs one of the largest oncology trial portfolios in the United States. The open question for a centre this large is how quickly its knowledge reaches practice elsewhere, a bottleneck Nuclide tracks explicitly. Its people and trials pages are the best way into the detail.
