The New York Cancer Hospital (NYCH) in New York City was a cancer treatment and research institution founded in 1884. The hospital was located at 455 Central Park West between 105th St and 106th St. Built between 1884 through 1890, it was the first hospital in the United States dedicated specifically for the treatment of cancer.

There it grew to become what is present day Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. It was during this time that the former New York Cancer Hospital building began its decline
