October 2, 2025- The Northwell Cancer Institute unveiled its Center for Women’s Cancer at the R.J. Zuckerberg Cancer Center. The $14 million, 21,000-square-foot facility is Long Island’s first dedicated cancer center for women, representing a major transformation in delivering specialized care at every stage. The outpatient center integrates breast surgery, gynecologic oncology, medical oncology and comprehensive support services in a single location, addressing the interconnected nature of women’s cancer risks and providing services focused on women and their unique care needs.
The Center for Women’s Cancer addresses a critical gap in cancer care delivery by recognizing the genetic and clinical connections between breast and gynecologic cancers, particularly for patients with BRCA gene variants and other hereditary cancers. This integrated approach positions Northwell at the forefront of precision oncology for women.
