Introduction
Dismantling the Cancer Cell

Plan of Attack
Bolstered by a federally-funded Center of Excellence for locally advanced breast cancer, NYU is targeting this often lethal form of the disease, which plagues medically underserved women.

Targeted Therapies
For many patients, cancer may soon become a chronic but treatable disease, thanks to new drugs pioneered through clinical trials at NYU.

Numbers Too Big to Ignore
The genome has flooded scientists with data, but how do they make sense of it all to better understand cancer and other diseases? The answer may arise from the emerging field of bioinformatics.

Detecting Ovarian Cancer
Through NYU’s new Screening and Prevention Program, women at high risk for ovarian cancer can benefit from early detection methods.

A Mighty Array
A new technology makes it possible for hundreds of tissue specimens to be arranged on a single slide, helping scientists to track the course of prostate cancer.

Walking Tall
With help from Dr. David Feldman and his team at HJD, patients with severe limb deformities now have a spring in their step.

The Anatomy of Great Teaching
No one knows his way around the human body—and the medical student’s mind—better than Dr. Bruce Bogart, who has been teaching gross anatomy at NYU for four decades.
