Why should I choose MSK doctors to treat histiocytosis?

• Experience. Doctors at MSK care for more adults with histiocytosis than any other hospital in the nation. Our MSK Kids team is very experienced at caring for children with this disease.
• The right diagnosis. We’re experts in spotting the symptoms of histiocytosis and making an accurate diagnosis. A correct diagnosis is very important to getting the best treatment.
• New treatments. Our experts played key roles in the research on 2 important histiocytosis medications. This research led to approval of the drugs vemurafenib (Zelboraf®) and cobimetinib (Cotellic®).  

For some people, new histiocytosis treatments aimed at gene mutations improved their symptoms and overall health. MSK assessed some of these treatments during research studies, also known as clinical trials.

• Research excellence. MSK offers all standard treatments as well as  histiocytosis clinical trials. Our research explores treatments available only at a few hospitals, including MSK.
