Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK or MSKCC) is a cancer treatment and research institution in New York City, founded in 1884 as the New York Cancer Hospital. Its main campus is located at 1275 York Avenue, between 67th and 68th Streets, in Manhattan. ==History== Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is composed of two related institutions: Memorial Hospital for Cancer and Allied Diseases, providing patient care, and Sloan Kettering Institute, focused on basic-science research. Memorial Hospital was founded in 1884 as the New York Cancer Hospital by a group that included John Jacob Astor and his wife Charlotte; the hospital was originally located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.〔 The hospital was later renamed General Memorial Hospital for the Treatment of Cancer and Allied Diseases.〔 Rose Hawthorne, daughter of author Nathaniel Hawthorne, trained here in the summer of 1896 before founding her own order, Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne. In 1936, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. donated land on York Avenue and in 1939 the institution moved to that location.〔 In the 1940s, Alfred P. Sloan and Charles F. Kettering donated money to create the Sloan Kettering Institute. Built adjacent to Memorial Hospital, it could bring together the institute's research with the hospital's clinical care. In 1960, a new corporation, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, was formed to coordinate the two institutions; they merged in 1980.〔 The Memorial Sloan Kettering Bendheim Integrative Medicine Center occupies 1425 First Avenue on the corner of East 74th Street in Manhattan. The former bank was built in the 1930s by Perkins and Will as architects. It was remodeled for use by Memorial Sloan Kettering in 1997. As of November 1, 2010, the President and CEO of Memorial Sloan Kettering is the oncologist and researcher Craig B. Thompson. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
