Patients may be admitted to either in-patient or out-patient services irrespective of residence or ability to pay. All admissions should be by referral of the attending physician and shall be consistent with the research interests of the institute; i.e., investigations of the cause, mortality, treatment, prevention and cure of cancer and allied diseases. In the event that limitations on the patient care resources of the institute require restrictions on the admission of patients, preference shall be given to residents of New York State.
